Sommario
On November 9th, 2022 at 12.45 pm Dr. Christine Milchram, Researcher at Karlsruher Institute for Technology, will hold a seminar on "Towards a just energy transition" in DEIB Seminar Room.
This lecture introduces the concept of energy justice as a framework to analyze social and ethical impacts of energy transitions. It points out why justice is an important consideration in the development of low-carbon energy systems. Using a three-dimensional framework of (energy) justice (justice as a matter of distribution, procedures, and recognition), the lecture highlights how justice might be integrated into the design of energy systems, drawing particularly from the case of smart grids.
