Prospects for a Socially Just Energy Transition in Viet Nam: 2021 and Beyond
A 2021 paper which is an update of a 2017 publication written for the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) in Viet Nam on a Socially Just Energy Transition in Viet Nam. This energy transition must deliver a large part of Viet Nam’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation, provide access to clean energy for all, and create opportunities for decent jobs and micro-businesses for the rural poor, women and ethnic minorities.

Eskom Transformed: Achieving a Just Energy Transition for South Africa
A 2020 report which presents the case for a modern national power utility – a New Eskom. Unfortunately, in the public discourse around energy in South Africa, the word ‘Eskom’ has become an expletive. To suggest that a reformed publicly utility can and must play a new and perhaps expanded role in shaping the country’s energy future as it transitions away from coal sounds ludicrous. But this is exactly what the situation demands, and this report explains why.

Working Together for a Just Transition
A 2018 short pamphlet which has been produced to launch the New Economics Foundation’s new program of work on the ‘just
transition’. It focuses on the practicality of change: the policies, processes, narrative and investment needed to accelerate the UK’s
progress on ‘just transition’, here and now.

A Just Energy Transition: Tapping into a Century of Ideas
A 2021 paper which focuses on two dimensions of the concept of ‘just transition’. The first concerns ‘distributional justice’: does the energy transition guarantee an outcome that is just for workers and their communities? The second dimension concerns ‘procedural justice’:
is there participation from citizens and stakeholders in policymaking, and is the government responsive to their input?
