Abstract
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals hold fossil fuels jointly responsible for climate change as the source of 60% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, making clean energy an existential challenge facing humanity. The relevance of the political, technological, social, and territorial dimensions of the energy transition, along with its effects on the commitments made in the fight against global warming, are of key concern to the European Union. The European Green Deal, as a growth strategy to achieve climate neutrality, attempts to address this challenge by strengthening new forms of energy generation based on renewable resources to mitigate the causes and effects of global warming. This chapter outlines the main actions on the European energy transition agenda, analyzing key legislative milestones and their integration into Spanish regulations. In particular, it focuses on the environmental assessment tool, defending its importance as a first step to improve public participation in the social construction of territory, where society could participate—albeit with difficulties—in the decision-making process of these projects. The social construction of territory is the path toward improving public acceptance and searching for energy decentralization scenarios.
