This book explores the theory and history behind just transitions, highlighting the social and political influences that have shaped the concept, and investigating the challenges it poses. Bridging theory with practice, it assesses critical transitions and advocates for inclusive approaches that manage employment impacts and engage communities in the move towards renewable energy.

With a comprehensive coverage of the topic, the book offers both practical advice and theoretical insights, particularly focusing on navigating methodological challenges and understanding quantitative methodologies in the context of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. The book discusses the implications of energy decentralisation for a just transition and the importance of considering distributional justice and spatial injustices to ensure all benefit from the shift towards sustainable energy. Ultimately, it calls for innovative ways to actively involve communities to make sure that everyone's voices are heard in the move to renewable energy, and to manage the employment consequences of transitioning towards a cleaner economy.

The Future of Just Transitions is a must-read for scholars, researchers and students of environmental law, energy law and policy, sustainable development, renewable energy technology and global and transnational law. Policymakers, strategists and stakeholders in renewable energy sectors, international agencies and NGOs will also benefit from the book's valuable policy recommendations.

Industry Reviews

'Just Transition has become a critical concept for charting humanity's route out of the climate crisis. The value of deciphering its substance and operationalizing its potential extends well beyond academia. The editors and contributors to this timely book masterfully complete both tasks while creating an important resource for a wide audience.' -- Roman Sidortsov, Michigan Technological University, US
'This book provides exactly what is needed right now - a comprehensive theoretical and empirical exploration of the concept of just transition. It succeeds in elevating the seemingly ubiquitous but rarely operationalised concept into something implementable through a set of concrete policy actions. This book is a ready-made manifesto for policy makers and scholars to pick up and run with.' -- Aimee Ambrose, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
'This is a timely contribution to the rapidly evolving field of just transition research. An excellent team of authors provide nuanced inter-disciplinary insights into both theorising just transition and its implementation in the energy sector, with novel perspectives on renewables and decentralisation. A must read for academics and practitioners.' -- Daria Shapovalova, University of Aberdeen, UK
