The social impact of energy transition in Europe: socio-psychological factors: The de-territorialisation process in Coal and Carbon-intensive regions has raised critical constraints for management, because the progressive weakening of the tie between a community and its territory. As one of most important processes of the last decade, the energy transition is affecting all aspects of human life (social, political, economic, cultural, ecological, and psychological).
