Summary:

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, with an emphasis on environmental, economic and geopolitical issues. However, less attention has been directed at the social and equity implications. Drawing on original expert research, this unique collection 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.
