Just Energy Transition
How can we shift from a carbon-based economy in a responsible way
THE JUST ENERGY TRANSITION ECOSYSTEM MAP
THE GOAL OF THIS MAP: To foster collaboration and further thought, by making it easy to find the main efforts and commentary on Just Energy Transition.
WHAT IT IS: All efforts on Just Energy Transition in one place, with an emphasis on UK efforts for now. It encompasses research and comment, to investment and to dedicated organisations, made as accessible and searchable as possible. It comprises a visual map with hyperlinks to the relevant efforts of each organisation and a searchable directory in Google Sheets.
We’ve specifically chosen to highlight organisations that have visible, public consideration of the importance of the 'just' element of the energy transition, beyond a brief mention.
WHO IT IS FOR: Everyone. A systemic effort is needed to accelerate a Just Energy Transition. This map is intentionally presented as open data, allowing a wide range of stakeholders to dip in to find what they need, from government advisors to researchers to business leaders and investors.
THE MAP AND DIRECTORY ARE CATEGORISED AND FILTERABLE IN TWO WAYS:
Organisation or initiative type: Advisory & Support; Energy Companies; Frameworks, Disclosures & Tools; Government & Policy; Industry Bodies; Investment & Finance; Networks, Movements and Collaboration; Research; Unions.
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism’s Four Pillars for a Just Energy Transition: Universal Net Zero Energy; Workforce Evolution; Community Resilience; Collaboration & Transparency. Their full framework can be found here.

PUBLIC OPINION
More in Common ran bespoke polling for this project, to find out the public's views on energy transition. Read a summary of the findings here.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
Efforts that centrally recognise the importance of “Just” transition. We have left out efforts on energy transition more generally, where consideration of the ‘just’ element was not obvious.
UK lens. The map is UK centric, whilst highlighting some key international efforts and selected examples.
Political parties. All political parties have a role to play in innovating, forming and challenging policy that secures a Just Energy Transition. As consideration of a just transition appears to vary considerably across parties, we have not included the political parties in this version in the interests of not singling any out, however we would encourage their consideration as integral to the ecosystem.
