Abstract

The energy transition at the current stage involves the decarbonization of the energy sector of the economy, namely, the shift away from fossil and non-renewable sources in favor of renewable ones. The relevance of this transition is driven by climatic, environmental, resource-based, and political factors. Experience has shown that modern global projects, such as the energy transition, cannot be implemented in a straightforward, top-down manner solely by state authorities and environmental agencies. The novelty of this research article lies in its analysis of the societal component of the issue, specifically through identifying the role of civil society in the energy transition process. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of civil society organizations on the implementation of the energy transition project in Ukraine. This research is based on general scientific and specialized interdisciplinary methods. Among the general scientific methods used are analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction. The specialized interdisciplinary methods include institutional and systems approaches, as well as content analysis. The study draws on a wide range of sources: agreements and legal acts; documents from state programs; analytical research conducted by relevant Ukrainian institutions; as well as publications, brochures, and informational materials from civil society organizations. Civil society organizations operate within a unified system together with relevant governmental agencies, international foundations, and the media, which accelerates and enhances the effectiveness of the implementation of the energy transition project.
