Context and academic literature
The academic and policy literature has been proliferated with conceptions of energy justice, environmental justice, climate justice, sustainability, and sustainable development, all grounded in the core understanding that without justice, a transition away from fossil fuels will be incomplete. Yet, the proliferation of these concepts has not come with clarity about their meaning or with a clear roadmap about how these concepts can be applied through policy to make a meaningful difference across local and global contexts.
Programme Structure
We invite doctoral research that contributes to this academic and policy literature by addressing any of the following themes:
- In what ways can justice be conceptualised in the context of a just transition?
- What processes can be used to understand the meaning of justice in the context of a just transition?
