Abstract
Editorial: Energy Justice in the Era of Green Transitions
Highlights
The need to rapidly decarbonize our energy systems to address the challenge of climate breakdown is widely accepted
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted, and arguably intensified, the centrality of energy services to our everyday lives and the functioning of societies (e.g., Carvalho et al, 2021; García et al, 2021; Rouleau and Gosselin, 2021). This Research Topic—Energy Justice in the Era of Green Transitions—seeks to contribute to ongoing research and debates regarding how current “green,” or “climate neutral,” energy transitions and policies might be causing, or avoiding, injustices, and the potential role such transitions might play in creating a more just society in the future. In curating this Research Topic of 12 papers, we aimed to include a diverse range of contributions to enable a wide set of voices
The contributions come from a mix of established scholars as well as from emerging researchers publishing from their doctoral research, or their first publications. They come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, from architecture, environmental studies, geography, political sciences, psychology, and public and urban affairs to name a few. This diversity of disciplinary, geographic, and experiential backgrounds is reflected in the varied yet complementary approaches this Research Topic of papers took to addressing the broad topic
