Energy Justice in a Changing Climate : Social Equity and Low-Carbon Energy Paperback / softback
Edited by Karen Bickerstaff, Gordon Walker, Harriet Bulkeley
Part of the Just Sustainabilities series
Paperback / softback
Description
Energy justice is one of the most critical, and yet least developed, concepts associated with sustainability.
Much has been written about the sustainability of low-carbon energy systems and policies - with an emphasis on environmental, economic and geopolitical issues.
However, less attention has been directed at the social and equity implications of these dynamic relations between energy and low-carbon objectives - the complexity of injustice associated with whole energy systems (from extractive industries, through to consumption and waste) that transcend national boundaries and the social, political-economic and material processes driving the experience of energy injustice and vulnerability. Drawing on a substantial body of original research from an international collaboration of experts this unique collection addresses energy poverty, just innovation, aesthetic justice and the justice implications of low-carbon energy systems and technologies.
The book offers new thinking on how interactions between climate change, energy policy, and equity and social justice can be understood and develops a critical agenda for energy justice research.
