Energy systems around the world are changing rapidly, accompanied by both new and ongoing economic, social, and justice challenges. In this talk, Dr. Sanya Carley will discuss the currently evolving global energy transition away from fossil fuel energy and toward more low-carbon, efficient, and advanced energy technologies. She will present findings from her collaborative research on the implications of this transition for vulnerable communities, and the importance of a full consideration of the distributional, procedural, and recognition justice challenges faced by such communities.
