A Just Energy TransitionThe development of a masterplan and social justice framework for the implementation of a net zero emissions climate transition . This social justice blueprint will combine effective mitigation strategies to empower consumers and enhance leadership capacity in different regions . |
Competitive Advantage • The first project to incorporate robust measures in relation to the social justice benefits of a climate transition in Australia .
• Delivering a unique , yet important outcome by combining the most appropriate infrastructure / technologies for a climate transition , and the social justice dimension , particularly the needs of vulnerable communities .
Impact • Climate transitions will involve significant changes to energy generation and supply , the organisation of infrastructure , and lifestyles . All these changes involve key ethical choices about the fairest way to deploy and pay for new technologies , adaptation and mitigation measures .
• A successful transition must reduce emissions . The benefits and burdens of a transition , such as its financial cost , lifestyle sacrifices , monetary benefits , must also be fairly shared within society . This dimension is critical to ensure vulnerable individuals and communities are not further disadvantaged by any transition strategies .
