The publications collected here provide some groundwork for scholarship on understanding the human dimensions of the clean energy transition. Our studies define the core principles of energy justice, map out structural factors that make certain populations and regions more vulnerable to economic and social disruptions, and establish baseline definitions for energy justice—including core themes of household energy insecurity, legacy fossil fuel community transitions, energy siting in communities, and technology access—across the United States.
