This panel symposium focuses on the critical issues arising from the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai, particularly the global shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Acknowledging the complexities and non-linear nature of energy system transitions, the symposium aims to address the need for deeper structural changes within organizations for a just and equitable transition. Key topics include the role of green innovation in balancing growth and sustainability, the evolving responsibilities of firms in social outcomes, the socio-economic impacts on communities dependent on traditional energy sources, and the influence of digital technology on this transition. The symposium seeks to bring together experts for an interactive discussion, providing insights into the challenges and strategies for navigating this pivotal shift.
