Managing the Transition to a Secure, Low-Carbon Energy Future

The document outlines a framework for managing the intersection of energy security and climate change, identifying three primary challenges: the evolving nature of their definitions and goals, variables creating future uncertainty, and the potential for trade-offs and unintended consequences. It argues that a successful strategy must address both the design of the future state and the specific pathway used to achieve it.

• The document identifies three core challenges in managing the transition to a low-carbon energy future: the interconnected nature of energy security and climate change goals, variables causing future uncertainty, and the trade-offs and unintended consequences of addressing both issues simultaneously.
