This empirical research investigates energy industry restructuring to accelerate the renewable transition. Moving away from fossil fuel reliance is critical for mitigating climate emergency, reducing harmful pollution, and realizing many United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. combines economic sustainability arguments clarify government policy direction toward a green Findings show that more innovation, reflected in patent counts, supports higher GDP.

Net-zero plans, or the target of negating an organization's carbon emissions by 2050, have proliferated among large oil and gas companies. These plans led to misleading unverifiable claims climate protection spurred concerns researchers about greenwashing. This article examines net zero greenwashing using case Pathways Alliance, a coalition six companies representing 95 % sands production in Canada, one world's largest reserves. Drawing on corpus documents (n = 183) spanning two-year period, including materials from coalition's advertising public relations campaign, we evaluate Alliance's communication for indicators net-zero We identify instances selective disclosure omission, misalignment claim action, displacement responsibility, non-credible claims, specious comparisons, nonstandard accounting, inadequate reporting. There is also evidence that their publicity campaign extends beyond usually collected assessed researchers.

Abstract Oil and gas (O&G) companies, as key players in the contemporary global energy landscape, have evolved within context of a dynamic interaction between states markets. However, their role is being transformed radically by two successive “global shifts”: economic globalization—driving demand growth patterns—and climate change—driving system transformation decarbonization, both which require them to reconsider business strategies. Using an interdisciplinary lens that draws on human geography, strategy international business, political economy, we propose integrated conceptual framework for periods—the 1990s–early 2010s post‐Paris Agreement era—to explore nature strategic responses O&G companies these environmental shifts. We illustrate linkage companies' strategies (re‐)globalization decarbonization aspects production, finance, knowledge internal structures. Energy security one priorities macro external environment.

Abstract This article draws on different strands of existing scholarship to provide an analytical framework for understanding the barriers achieving a well-being economy. It explores interplay between agential and structural power, where some actor-coalitions can reproduce or transform pre-existing structures. Conversely, these structures are strategically selective, favouring actors, interests, strategies over others. Making sense this introduces notion power complex e s —time-space-specific with common industry-related interests in given conjuncture. To understand historical “becoming” today’s political-economic terrain, provides regulationist-inspired history rise, fall, re-emergence four complexes: financial, fossil, livestock-agribusiness, digital.
