Darren McCauley – författare

With a comprehensive coverage of the topic, the book offers both practical advice and theoretical insights, particularly focusing on navigating methodological challenges and understanding quantitative methodologies in the context of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. The book discusses the implications of energy decentralization for a just transition and the importance of considering distributional justice and spatial injustices to ensure all benefit from the shift towards sustainable energy. Ultimately, it calls for innovative ways to actively involve communities to make sure that everyone’s voices are heard in the move to renewable energy, and to manage the employment consequences of transitioning towards a cleaner economy.

The Future of Just Transitions is a must-read for scholars, researchers and students of environmental law, energy law and policy, sustainable development, renewable energy technology and global and transnational law. Policymakers, strategists and stakeholders in renewable energy sectors, international agencies and NGOs will also benefit from the book’s valuable policy recommendations.

This book re-conceptualizes energy justice as a unifying agenda for scholars and practitioners working on the issues faced in the trilemna of energy security, poverty and climate change. McCauley argues that justice should be central to the rebalancing of the global energy system and also provides an assessment of the key injustices in our global energy systems of production and consumption.Energy Justice develops a new innovative analytical framework underpinned by principles of justice designed for investigating unfairness and inequalities in energy availability, accessibility and sustainability. It applies this framework to fossil fuel and alternative low carbon energy systems with reference to multiple case studies throughout the world. McCauley also presents an energy justice roadmap that inspires new solutions to the energy trilemna. This includes how we redistribute the benefits and burdens of energy developments, how to engage the new energy ‘prosumer’ andhow to recognise the unrepresented.This book will appeal to academics and students interested in issues of security and justice within global energy decision-making.
