Abstract

To date, scholars have not fully or exhaustively addressed many of the gaps in the global discourse on sustainable energy transitions and social justice. Those who have attempted to engage with these issues have often done so from perspectives that reflect their own assumptions and priorities, while neglecting other contexts that may not align with their frameworks. While this is understandable, we believe much of the progress made thus far has followed a well-worn path, often at the expense of exploring alternative approaches. For us, the priority and shared interest lie in shifting the focus to the Global South.
