Just and inclusive energy transitions

Research project The energy sector is one of the least diverse in the global economy, where user framings are predominantly male coded and technocentric, and large-scale innovations and technological rather than social solutions tend to dominate. This project addresses practical, methodological and theoretical aspects of just energy transitions, providing support for institutions and policymakers as well as communities.

Organisations such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), the World Economic Forum and researchers emphasize people-centered clean energy transitions, where inclusivity and fairness are key to successful energy and climate policies. Building on phase 1 of the IEA emPOWERing all Task, Phase 2 aims to bridge research and practice. Swedish experts contribute knowledge on indigenous peoples, institutional capacity and norm-critical analysis and design The group will provide practical, methodological and theoretical support with an intersectional focus to contribute to just energy transition.
