We can consider that the paradigm of action, in terms of policy definition and governance, creates both opportunities and challenges for energy and climate security.?
The first challenge is to adopt a global vision at national, international and regional levels, understanding the implications beyond each specific area. That means we should overcome the compartmentalization of energy and climate policies.?
?Secondly, it's about developing an integrated system of government that targets the public interest in energy and climate-related health and well-being.
The solution we propose for this integration has been identified in " the synergy and awareness of the interconnections between science, technology and policy in other sectors," such as health, education, business, energy and climate.?
This solution represents a great opportunity because it could make possible the choices to change or develop new models of action and new institutions, particularly in developing countries.?
Let's not forget that the aim of that integration is to align choices and policies with the general interest in the name of the well-being and sustainable development pursued by governments and decision-makers for their populations.
