Scope

This journal seeks to publish a broad range of scholarly articles, including: 

  1. Equity in Energy Access and Distribution: Examining disparities in access to energy services and resources, including energy poverty and the unequal distribution of clean energy. Research in this area focuses on identifying and addressing barriers to equitable energy access.

  2. Social Impacts of Energy Policies: Analyzing how energy policies affect different social groups, particularly marginalized and vulnerable populations. This includes evaluating the effectiveness and fairness of policy frameworks and their implementation.

  3. Energy Transition and Justice: Investigating the social implications of transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable practices. This includes examining how such transitions impact workers, communities, and economies, and developing strategies to ensure equitable outcomes.

  4. Community-Led Energy Initiatives: Exploring grassroots and community-driven energy projects aimed at addressing local needs and promoting justice. Research may include case studies of community energy cooperatives, local renewable energy projects, and participatory planning processes.

  5. Global Perspectives on Energy Justice: Providing comparative analyses of energy justice practices and policies across different regions and countries. This includes studying global challenges and solutions related to energy equity, highlighting diverse approaches to achieving energy justice.

  6. Technological Innovations and Equity: Assessing how advancements in energy technologies affect social equity. This includes evaluating the accessibility and affordability of emerging technologies and their potential to bridge or widen existing disparities in energy access.

  7. Institutional Frameworks for Energy Justice: Investigating the role of institutions and governance structures in promoting or hindering energy justice. Research may focus on how institutional practices, regulations, and governance models influence the fair distribution and management of energy resources.
