Brian G. Dowling on 05 Nov 20WHAT IS ENERGY JUSTICE? ENERGY justice refers to the goal of achieving equity in both the social and economic participation in the ENERGY system, while also remediating social, economic, and health burdens on those disproportionately harmed by the ENERGY system. ENERGY justice explicitly centers the concerns of communities at the frontline of pollution and climate change ("frontline communities"), working class people, indigenous communities, and those historically disenfranchised by racial and social inequity. ENERGY justice aims to make ENERGY accessible, affordable, clean, and democratically managed for all communities.
