Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This Research Agenda identifies underexplored areas and future directions for just transition research, from community-centric approaches to cross-disciplinary collaboration. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, expert authors analyse efforts to address climate change and other sustainability challenges in order to further just transition research.Chapters assess complex and timely debates surrounding the definition of justice, the scope of transition and the influence of governance models. Contributors highlight how technology, resilience-based just transitions and the circular economy are impacting the field, using case studies to cover key areas of tech growth such as harnessing AI in vulnerable communities and remote sensing.A Research Agenda for Just Transition is a valuable resource for students and scholars of geography, climate policy, sustainability, energy transitions and environmental studies. It will also benefit practitioners, policymakers and project managers due to its insights into decision making in transition-related initiatives.
