Mobilising Institutional Capital Towards the SDGs and a Just Transition
A 2021 report which introduces globally applicable Just Transition Elements which, combined with a tailored understanding of local implementation scenarios, will support and drive further alignment across public and private actors. The three Elements – Climate and Environmental Action; Socio-economic Distribution and Equity; and Community Voice – work together to ensure that capital meaningfully contributes towards a 'just transition'.

Assessing African Energy Transitions: Renewable Energy Policies, Energy Justice, and SDG 7
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.

Is Green a Pan-African Colour? Mapping African Eenewable Energy Policies and Transitions in 34 Countries
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.

Covid-19 and a Just Transition in India's Coal Mining Sector The COVID 19 pandemic hit India hard in early 2020, with negative GDP growth and a surge in unemployment. In the energy sector, coal fired power generation was already under pressure from overcapacity, low electricity demand growth, and increasingly competitive renewables.
Considerations for a Just and Equitable Energy Transition As the energy transition accelerates, it is our responsibility, it is our opportunity, to ensure that in addition to contributing to a healthy planet by replacing fossil fuels with clean energy sources, this is accomplished in a just and equitable manner providing prosperity for all.
