Abstract The energy justice literature has seen a rapid surge in both academic and practical popularity. However, there been less systematic reflection on the research conducted so far, its scope or contribution, nor what it might mean for future of concept. To provide insights, this paper presents results comprehensive review 155 peer-reviewed articles published across eight databases between January 2008 December 2019. aim is firstly to current state art and, secondly, present findings...

Governments all over the world have had to implement various policy measures in order curb spread of COVID-19, impacting many people's lives and livelihoods.

Public participation in decisions regarding (the relaxation of) these has been notably absent, despite being recommended literature. Here, as one exceptions, we report results 30,000 citizens advising government on eight different possibilities for relaxing lockdown Netherlands.

The methodology utilizes smartcard data collecting disaggregate full population about passengers' behaviour. study extends previous work by deriving specific fare elasticities distinct socioeconomic (e.g., car ownership and income) groups modes (metro, trains buses), considering directionality change. case involves policy introduced regional administration Stockholm County in January 2017,...

Energy communities are decentralized socio-technical systems where energy is jointly generated and distributed among a community of households locally. As the that shared commonly electricity, community's literature dominated by electricity-systems mostly neglects collective thermal as an alternative carrier for heating cooling. Our goal in this article to organise existing research on "community-based initiatives cooling " using Institutional Analysis Development (IAD) framework, based...

Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) is a new method to assess the desirability of government projects. In PVE, individuals select their preferred portfolio projects given constrained public budget. Individuals’ preferences for (the impacts of) can be determined based on these choices. The obtained used rank in terms desirability.

To achieve a successful energy transition, it is vital to integrate citizens' needs into government policies through participatory processes. However, offline approaches can be overly intensive which leads an over-representation of citizens who think that the issue in their immediate interest. Hence, elected officials often question extent participants' priorities are good proxy represent "the public". Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) potentially circumvents this by allowing large and...

28 Dutch politicians and 10 top-level civil servants were interviewed about the way use cost–benefit analysis (CBA). Various types of identified. Politicians CBA: (1) When forming their opinion desirability transport projects; (2) As political ammunition (opportunistic use); (3) To make themselves decisions look more rational (symbolic use).
