Description
Book Synopsis: Energy justice has emerged over the last decade as a matter of vital concern in energy law, which can be seen in the attention directed to energy poverty, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. There are energy justice concerns in areas of law as diverse as human rights, consumer protection, international law and trade, and in many forms of regional and national energy law and regulation. This edited collection explores in detail at four kinds of energy justice.
The first, distributive justice, relates to the equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of energy activities, which is challenged by the existence of people suffering from energy poverty. Secondly, procedural (or participation) justice consists of the right of all communities to participate in decision-making regarding energy projects and policies that affect them. This dimension of energy justice often includes procedural rights to information and access to courts.
Under the concept of reparation (or restorative) justice, the book looks at even-handed enforcement of energy statutes and regulations, as well as access to remedies when legal rights are violated. Finally, the collection addresses social justice, with the recognition that energy injustice cannot be separated from other social ills, such as poverty and subordination based on race, gender, or indigeneity. These issues feed into a wider conversation about how we achieve a ‘just’ energy transition, as the world confronts the urgent challenges of climate change.

Energy justice is more than just a buzzword; it's a pressing issue that demands our attention.

Procedural justice is a fundamental aspect of energy justice, and our book delves into this critical dimension. Every community deserves a say in the decision-making process when it comes to energy projects and policies that directly impact them. Our collection discusses the importance of providing communities with the necessary tools, such as information and access to courts, to ensure their voices are heard. Join us as we explore the power of participation in shaping a future where everyone has a fair chance at accessing and benefiting from energy resources.
Restorative justice is at the heart of our book. When legal rights are violated, it is crucial to have mechanisms in place for enforcement and access to remedies. Our collection emphasizes the need for even-handed enforcement of energy statutes and regulations, ensuring that no one is left behind. By championing reparation and accountability, we pave the way for a legal framework that protects the rights of individuals and communities alike.
Energy justice is inherently intertwined with social justice. Inequities based on race, gender, or indigeneity cannot be ignored when striving for a just energy transition. Our collection recognizes the interconnectedness of these social ills and offers insights on how to address them holistically. By tackling the root causes of energy injustice, we can create a more equitable society for all.
