This paper explores the conceptual linkage between sustainable development, low-carbon energy transitions, and energy justice, with a focus on addressing people's competing priorities associated with low-carbon energy interventions. Using a renewable energy project in Vietnam as a case study, it demonstrates that linking social priorities to energy justice can contribute to a better understanding of the multidimensional and complex aspects of low-carbon energy transitions for energy policy makers to make socially just decisions.
Governments and civil society are increasingly aware that the decarbonization of energy systems needs to be aligned with justice principles of recognition, distribution, and process. This paper establishes a conceptual linkage between sustainable development, low-carbon energy transitions and energy justice and examines social priorities to address peoples' competing priorities associated with low-carbon energy interventions. By analyzing a renewable energy project in Vietnam as a case study, the paper shows that linking social priorities to energy justice provides a useful contribution for energy policy makers toward a better understanding of the multidimensional and complex aspects of low-carbon energy transitions, and how different segments of society prioritize and perceive them for the achievement of socially just energy decisions.
