“…Environmental justice has evolved from an emphasis on distributive justice to encompass procedural justice, advocating for fairness in processes (Anguelovski 2013). The definition of 10 justice in the third dimension is different from the consistency of distribution and procedural justice, and there are differences in the definition of justice such as recognition and capacity (Menton et al 2020;Suboticki et al 2023).…”

“…As the field of environmental justice continues to expand, environmental risk, harm, and degradation are recognized as constituting categories of environmental justice (Menton et al 2020). Environmental justice principles have found widespread application in various research fields, including climate (Newell et al 2021), energy (Suboticki et al 2023), and ecology (Grossmann et al 2022).…”

The escalating impacts of global climate change, marked by a surge in extreme weather events, underscore the imperative need to address the effects of this ongoing challenge. This study emphasizes the critical need to prioritize the reduction of social and environmental inequalities to enhance urban resilience. The adoption of nature-based solutions is considered a paramount approach, leveraging ecosystem characteristics to alleviate and adapt to climate change and natural hazards. In the absence of a systematic classification, the inefficiencies in hazard response and societal inequalities are exposed, particularly concerning environmental justice. Hence, this study extensively investigates urban-scale nature-based solutions and conceptually explores environmental justice. This paper traces the reflection and perspective of environmental justice in NbS responses to different types of environmental hazards. It provides a new perspective on the implementation and management of nature-based solutions in urban environments, emphasizing the integration of various hazard types and a focus on environmental justice to bolster urban resilience against climate change and environmental hazards.

“…Liao and Agrawal (2022) offer another framework for thinking energy justice, highlighting mechanisms and principles to achieve justice goals. Suboticki et al (2023) note that literature on public engagement in energy transitions often omits explicit discussions of justice, usually emphasizing procedural justice and neglecting recognition and distributional justice. Van Bommel et Höffken (2023) observe that urgency and justice in energy transitions can positively or negatively affect each other, with policymakers sometimes using justice rhetorically to postpone action.…”

“…Previous paragraphs emphasize how, in the ET, people and citizens must be actively engaged to leverage the potential for innovative products, strategies and participatory processes [181]. In order to address the diverse sensitivities and priorities of individuals, it is important to relate electrification to processes on three different scales: the individual level, the local context, and the economic, political, and administrative levels.…”

Energy Transition (ET) is crucial for sustainable development, impacting inclusive prosperity and social justice. Knowledge development, innovative solutions, and awareness actions become crucial as energy systems transform. ET necessitates behavioural and cultural changes involving individuals in responsible decision making. The active engagement of all societal actors, including people and communities is essential. The article is authored by a university research team specializing in Design for Sustainability, Service Design, and Design for Experience, and it addresses two central research questions: (i) how can individuals and communities contribute to ET? and (ii) how can design theories, methods, and expertise contribute to generating knowledge and solutions for ET? The research employs a multidisciplinary literature review and case study analysis. It is structured into two main sections. The first section examines ET, drawing upon European Union (EU) official documents and academic literature to outline its values, objectives, actors, initiatives, and challenges, focusing on the role of citizens and communities. The second section explores the design’s contributions, summarizing relevant philosophies and solutions aligned with ET goals, challenges, and bottlenecks. Conceptual maps were created to address the knowledge gap on ET objectives and guidelines, providing design-oriented reference knowledge and principles. The purpose of the research is to define a conceptual framework made up of maps to guide researchers, designers, and design educators in understanding the complexity of ET and to inspire their intervention proposals.
