Transitions toward a low-carbon future are not only technical and economical, but also deeply social gendered. The gendered nature of energy transitions is often implicit unexplored. As corrective, this paper explores pathways by applying concepts from innovations gender studies. We examine perspectives niche which could disrupt the regime. regime represents mainstream pathway that includes dominant perspective system. explore different transition an Alternative Pathways framework includes:...
The contours of Turkey's climate policy have remained almost intact over the past two decades. Being an Annex I party without any mitigation commitments, Turkey maintains a peculiar position under UNFCCC . Subsequent to 12 years delay in signing both Framework Convention and Kyoto Protocol, had highest rate increase greenhouse gas emissions among countries with 110.4% upsurge period 1990 2013. Yet new regime now place, country's pledges fall short expectations terms realistic projections its...
The term 'Just Transition' (JT) emerged from the 1970s North American labour movement to become a campaign for planned energy transition that includes justice and fairness workers. There is diversity in JT narratives ambitions different actors put forward regarding its aims strategies. This article critically reviews academic grey literature on Global South Africa examine how labour, advocacy, private sector, governmental frame formulate JT, narrative patterns across can signal...
The ongoing expansion of renewable energies entails major spatial reconfigurations with social, environmental, and political dimensions. These emerging geographies are, however, in the process taking shape, as their early configurations are still open to democratic intervention contestation. While a recent line research highlights prominent role that maps playing directing such processes, potential effects countermapping on these evolving have not yet been explored. In this article, we...
Solar energy has become the world's cheapest and fastest scaling electricity source. Multiple societal sectors are electrifying, scale pace of change give some hope near-future rapid climate mitigation through solar rollouts despite bleak record to date. Critiques utility-scale development foreground injustices like displacing marginalised groups perpetuating resource inequity. Governance scholars argue for stringent regulations towards just transitions, community research shows that...
This perspective piece sets to contribute the academic and practitioner debates around energy democracy in age of climate crisis. In tackling present-day transition challenges a democratic, equitable, just sustainable manner, we argue that sound research shall take alternative currents centralized access control decision making at its core as well exploring new novel ways deal with production distribution issues. Critical on actors, materialities, values, worldviews, democracy, justice is...
