A 2021 study which argues that the energy justice concept may provide a powerful tool to offset looming trade-offs and enhance the co-benefits of SDG 7 within broader transition endeavours. In doing so, it assesses African energy transition processes based on a comparative mapping of African renewable energy policies in 34 countries. It investigates the scope of policy frameworks in order to analyze their contribution to greater energy justice along different justice dimensions.

A 2020 article which presents an analysis of energy transition processes based on a comparative mapping of African renewable energy policies in 34 countries. It discusses these developments with respect to their justice dimension, following up on the recent debate on distributive, recognitional, and procedural energy justice. It not only provides evidence of African energy policies covering recognitional and distributive justice, but also identifies potential trade-offs between strong market orientation and justice concerns.

A 2022 report which investigates the following questions: How intensively should it work to adapt to previous and predicted damages caused by climate change, given the uncertainty of global mitigation efforts? How much will it cost to reduce GHG emissions? How can the private sector be mobilized to help achieve Vietnam’s climate goals? Are there trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation investments? Are there trade-offs between economic growth, poverty reduction, and climate action, and how can they be managed? Which sectors and regions should be prioritized? What are the distributional implications of a low-carbon, climate-resilient growth path? [Originally posted at https://reliefweb.int/report/viet-nam/vietnam-country-climate-and-development-report]
