Abstract

Communities and energy transition are innovative development initiatives within the framework of sustainability. They have numerous global experiences, but in the Southern Cone, the certainties surrounding them are still emerging. The book we are presenting analyzes them from a Latin American perspective, with our contexts, realities, challenges, and experiences. The authors, Gloria Baigorrotegui, Mauricio Eduardo Campos Morales, Paloma Gajardo Bustamante, Eduardo Mondaca Mansilla, Víctor Naín Leal, Ingeborg Mahla, Michael Ornetzeder, Juan Carlos Osorio Aravena, Cristian Parker Gumucio, Yonjoo Jeong, Hugo Romero Toledo, Constanza Romero, Jorgenila Sannazzaro, Pía Santibañez, Patricio Segura, Neil Simcock, and Gordon Walker, in ¿Conectar o desconectar? Comunidades energéticas y transiciones hacia la sustentabilidad, unfold the civilizational challenge toward sustainability, the renewal of decentralized democratic demands in Latin America regarding energy, its strong relationship with its territory, and its conflicts.
