Abstract: Energy transition is an inevitable process of restructuring energy systems in response to climate challenges. Justice, although frequently invoked in this context, remains an ambiguous concept interpreted in various ways by researchers, policymakers, and society. Despite growing interest in this concept in scientific literature, there is a lack of coherent understanding of this phenomenon. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyze the key dimensions of just energy transition in order to better understand the multidimensional nature of this concept. To achieve this, a systematic literature review was conducted. The study analyzed publications on just energy transition available in the Scopus database. Based on the analysis conducted, a synthetic framework integrating existing approaches was presented. The study describes just energy transition as a multidimensional socio-economic process, extending beyond technological aspects, which requires addressing the needs of the entire society.
