The October 2022 sweeping evaluation of the state of energy and power transition--produced by the International Energy Agency. [Originally posted at https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/c282400e-00b0-4edf-9a8e-6f2ca6536ec8/WorldEnergyOutlook2022.pdf ]

A 2019 policy brief which has been produced as an outcome of the “Just Transition for All” event, hosted by Climate Strategies, International Labour Organisation and the COP24 Presidency on Monday the 3rd of December 2018 at the UNFCCC COP24 meeting in Katowice, Poland. The brief is addressed predominantly to Parties implementing the Paris Agreement with the aim of strengthening their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It provides both evidence and operational considerations of how to use the 'just transition' concept for this purpose.

A 2021 strategy report which sets the goal of adaptation pathways to reduce the impact of climate change on national GDP loss by 3.45% in 2050, through increasing resilience in four basic necessities (food, water, energy, and environmental health), with three target areas of resilience (economy, social and livelihood, ecosystem and landscape).

A 2021 collection of essays and papers which provides modelling and analysis that begin to answer some of the following questions: Can “net zero” be a net positive for Indian and global growth? And what are the development pathways that must be put into place in the next few years to turn this new climate ambition into a new, greener development paradigm? What are the changes to the multilateral architecture, to international regulation, and to local laws that must be undertaken if ambitious targets are to be achieved — or, indeed, exceeded? And how can we ensure that the transition is just and inclusive? [Originally posted at https://www.orfonline.org/research/shaping-our-green-future/]

A 2017 study which provides an overview of different 'just transition', energy transformation and climate justice discourses, presents a set of just energy transition principles and applies them to evaluate climate policies of 12 Global South countries.

A 2021 study in which a Monte Carlo simulation with 30.000 samples of national reduction target configurations has been performed using an advanced energy system optimization model of electricity supply as of 2030. Results reveal a group of countries where emissions reductions beyond the national targets, in most scenarios, are economically favorable. Contrarily, for some countries large abatement costs are unavoidable. [Originally posted at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.07247.pdf]

A 2021 paper which identifies the different elements that must pull together and integrate to enable successful energy transitions that deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals. It starts from the premise that energy transitions and social justice questions are intrinsically linked. [Originally posted at https://www.wwf.eu/?5035466/The-case-for-a-just-energy-transformation]

A 2020 statement to outline SSE’s strategy for supporting energy transition in a socially just and fair way. It aims to: 1) provide an early analysis of the impact SSE might make on key stakeholder groups, specifically, employees, consumers and communities; 2) define the principles that will underpin the choices, decisions and influences it can make as a basis for ongoing engagement with the people and organizations who have a stake in SSE’s business activities; 3) summarize actions SSE has taken to date to transition to a low-carbon – and ultimately net zero – company in a responsible way with social equity factors considered.

A 2020 report which calls a post-Covid Just Recovery plan, which ensures that economic systems are people centred and take into account the intersecting factors that cause inequalities and large-scale ecological damage. The paper outlines how we got to the current climate crisis through the emphasis on market fundamentalism, prioritization of profits and financialization, privatization and the hollowing out of the commons, globalization, extensive corporate and labour deregulation, over-reliance on fossil fuels, privatization of social reproduction and care work and how we measure human development and economic growth.
