6 F. FAHY AND G. GoGGINS
The expansion of the spatial and political boundaries in which responses
occur is reflected in the increasing range of actors, sites, configurations
and mechanisms through which sustainable energy is being addressed, as
demonstrated in the case studies provided in this book.
The final chapter within this collection reflects on the key strands
emerging from the material presented and considers individual and collective opportunities for sustainable energy transitions. In comparing
and contrasting energy-related problem framings and social, material and
institutional make-up across Europe, the concluding chapter unpacks the
energy challenges facing Europe. It clearly shows that policies for energy
demand reduction have to carefully consider and address the differences
in cultural, material and institutional constitutions of energy demand and
energy systems, locally, regionally, nationally and cross-nationally.
