    We are pleased to announce that the RGS Energy Geography Research Group will be hosting a one-day online conference on 10 July 2025 for postgraduate researchers and early career researchers (ECRs)

     

    A Just Energy Transition aims to achieve a low-carbon economy, promote sustainability and address social and environmental challenges (Inogen Alliance, n.d.). Its ultimate goal, therefore, is to create a more equitable and inclusive society. In the fields of energy, environmental, and climate justice, the concept of a just transition has been widely debated (Heffron & McCauley, 2018 ). While just transitions have the potential to play a crucial role in enabling energy democracy (Healy & Barry, 2017; Vachon & Sweeney, 2018). The adoption of green and renewable technologies without addressing broader social and economic issues could exacerbate global inequality, leading to a "divided, poverty-stricken, conflictual, and socially unsustainable low-carbon world" marked by resource conflicts (Swilling & Annecke, 2012, p. xix). This one-day online conference will provide postgraduate researchers and ECRs with an opportunity to showcase their work on justice in the field of energy scholarship. Our aim is to foster dialogue on new and emerging methodologies, concepts and trajectories in the study of justice and Energy Geographies.
