The transition to renewable energy and carbon-neutral energy supply has become an important policy objective worldwide. In this context, country-specific differences in development paths can be observed. In particular for "energy -hungry" emerging markets , but also for other countries and regions in the global South, the transformation of energy systems opens up the opportunity to learn from leading countries. The geography with its focus on integrating perspectives can make a valuable contribution to this topic. Against this background, the annual meeting in 2014 deals with international perspectives of energy geographies .
