Left out in the cold: energy justice and Arctic energy research

Roman Sidortsov () and Benjamin Sovacool

Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2015, vol. 5, issue 3, 302-307

Abstract: This commentary advocates for a wider proliferation of the energy justice concept in Arctic energy research. It maintains that the concept provides a novel, human-centric approach to evaluating issues stemming from energy exploration, development, production, and use. The commentary opens with a brief survey of the human dimensions of the changing Arctic before linking them to energy activities in the region. It then proposes energy justice as a conceptual and contextual tool, intending to inform policy and practice. Copyright AESS 2015
