A 2021 study which makes use of the ‘integrated wage-commodity sector’ model to study the issue of subsistence emissions vs luxury emissions. By using this model, the authors were able to connect the double role of luxury goods. On thevone hand, they are the main reason why profits exist (together with surplus production of other wage-goods), given that profitability stems from surplus production delivered by workers. On the other hand, they are the major constituent of wasteful luxury consumption and, hence, major drivers of CO2 emissions. Three different scenarios (‘green growth’, ‘reformist’, and ‘just transition’) are depicted and connected to the possible policy actions to be undertaken to address social and environmental predicaments. The just transition scenario seems to be the only viable option to respect both social and environmental boundaries.

A 2020 paper which examines the risks for workers in Northern Ireland from decarbonisation in particular, identifying the sectors and the geographic areas most at risk from transition. It will also examine some of the elements needed to embed a 'just transition' in principle and practice in Northern Irish climate policy.

A 'just transition' requires energy convergence—reducing energy use in wealthy countries to achieve rapid emissions reductions, and ensuring sufficient energy for development in the rest of the world. However, existing climate mitigation scenarios reviewed by The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change do not explore such a transition.
