R ESEARCH Q UESTIONS
Overarching Research Question (RQ): What are the costs, benefits and risks & uncertainties associated with transitions pathways for climate change mitigation policies?
- RQ1. How should the future look like and how might we get there?
- RQ2. What changes are required for us to get to our desired future(s)?
- RQ3. What are the policy options based on the (sub/national) context?

What kind of relationships have been analysed between renewable energy policies and the SDGs?
- There will be synergies, conflicts, trade-offs in meeting Sustainable
