The energy transition is fundamentally defined as the global shift away from a reliance on fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources, as established in [1] and [2]. This relationship is further evidenced by the economic and policy challenges of moving away from fossil fuels [3], [4], and the necessity of managing the resulting stranded assets and social impacts during this transition [5], [6].

claimTo avoid negative transnational impacts from energy transitions, North-South dialogue must be strengthened, and international cooperation must be structured to address displacements caused by wealthy countries transitioning away from fossil fuels, changing consumption habits, and introducing new regulatory frameworks in trade, investment, and science and technology.
claimThe energy transition in Middle Income Countries varies by nation; for example, Brazil is not heavily dependent on fossil fuels, making illegal deforestation a more central issue than energy transition for that specific country.
