In person icon The Impacts of ‘Just Transitions’ on Specific Groups and places

Abstract

This panel will explore how so‐called ‘just transitions’ relate to and impact specific social groups and geographies. Marginalised groups are often negatively impacted by climate change, but also by the climate transition itself (e.g. financially). Furthermore, they are oftentimes excluded from participating in climate policy making processes (e.g. energy transition projects). These communities are directly related to underprivileged, abandoned and underinvested areas, which makes it all the more pertinent to rethink how marginalised peoples and places relate to a just climate transition. The papers in this panel address how a ‘just transition’ actually relates to marginalised groups, and highlight productive ways to pursue climate justice that includes their experiences and needs.
