Just Energy Transition

<p>To reduce emissions and address climate change we need to invest in renewables and rapidly decarbonise our energy networks. However decarbonisation is often seen as a technical project detached from questions of politics and social justice. What if this is leading to unfair transitions in which some people bear the costs of change while others benefit? </p><p> In this timely and expansive book Ed Atkins asks: are we getting decarbonisation right? And how could it be made better for people and communities? In doing so this book proposes a different type of energy transition. One that prioritises and takes opportunities to do better - to provide better jobs community ownership and improve people's homes and lives.</p>
