With a special focus on the Global South and social reproduction, and on energy transitions in particular, the webinar series aims to discuss ways in which green transitions can create sustainable development benefits for vulnerable and traditionally excluded communities and groups. Special emphasis is given to the discussion of lessons-learnt, and challenges and opportunities of ongoing and past programmes and initiatives to make the energy transition work for the people, so that the transition “leaves no one behind”.
The webinar series is part of a broader, emergent effort to place the socioeconomic and environmental distribution implications of the green transition more prominently and rigorously in the research and policy agenda at Utrecht University and beyond. To this end, special attention is given to climate, environmental, mobility and spatial justice issues among different social groups along citizenship & nationality, class, gender, generational, racial and other place-relevant sociocultural attributes in multiple geographies across the Global North-South and East-West divides.
