“…Lacey-Barnacle et al [54] was the first systematic review paper done looking at energy transition in the developing world, for which the authors outlined the fundamental core and theoretical frameworks for energy justice originated from the work done in developed countries. Monyei et al [55] outlined a clear demarcation of energy justice between the developed northern countries and the underdeveloped southern countries. The authors argued that the developing countries are victims of 'energy poverty' and energy 'bullying,' which essentially displaces their domestic energy markets through the competitive market forces created by the developed countries.…”

“…Another argument in the literature looks at the responsibility of fossil fuel emissions being most prominent amongst developed countries with the impacts mostly felt by developing countries. Researchers have contentiously argued that the international organizations dealing with climate change are often funded and spearheaded by developed countries and advocate for energy transition to renewable energy globally while developed countries still maintain a high fossil-fuel use [43,55,61,88] Bridging the energy transition gap between developed and developing countries needs to be further explored especially given the sentiments of the World Energy Transition Outlook which highlighted the need for governments to fast-track the energy transition process in order to meet global carbon reduction targets. Further empirical work is needed on the policy gaps between developed and developing countries, the feasibility of implementing the policy practices of the developed countries in developing countries and understanding the risk bearing ability and injustices of developing countries to transition away from fossil fuels especially on their social and economic conditions [89][90][91][92] .…”

Energy transition as a process of decarbonizing energy systems is considered a key mitigation strategy in the global effort to curb rising temperatures stemming from greenhouse gases. The main challenge with the energy transition process has to do with the social, economic, political and technological capacities of a country to undertake this transition process for which developing countries globally are lagging behind. The purpose of this study is the present a policy discussion paper looking at the pertinent social, economic and institutional challenges that developing countries need to consider in its energy transition process. As a case study, the paper also looked at the economy of Guyana, a country that is experiencing an oil and gas boom and also has committed to developing a low carbon development strategy. The paper implemented a narrative literature review and constructed the case study for Guyana utilizing secondary information on policy positions and directives for the energy sector in Guyana. Several pertinent issues within developing countries were identified including centralized and state dominated markets, poor infrastructure to support the transition process, availability of technology, energy justice and energy bullying and a lack of policies that foster community energy systems, energy sensitization and energy investments. These issues also reverberated with Guyana with policy recommendations emphasizing on collective actions needed to address the policy needs of developing countries in their transition process. The issues identified within the policy discussion of this paper can be used by policy makers globally as a potential framework for identifying the research gaps and priority areas to channel resources and technical skills to enhance the energy transition process in developing countries.

Energy geographies in/of the Anthropocene: Where now?

The Anthropocene has thrown at us a challenge of balancing urgency and justice. Urgency brought about by myriad environmental crises, most prominently being climate change, and justice that any adequate response to these crises needs to be rooted in. This is a dilemma because we need pathways for urgent action on climate mitigation and energy transitions while centring the slow and considered work that historical and contemporary justice questions demand. This is because while the Anthropocene calls humans to unite, its impacts have been, are, and will be, felt differently. The Anthropocene narrative's framing of a universal humanity connects to a long and dangerous history of what is human and what qualifies as humanity, a history of colonising, racializing, and dehumanising black, brown, and indigenous bodies around the world. We need narratives of the Anthropocene that confirm the importance of decolonising political, economic, and scientific institutions, not to deny urgency, but to foster a more political Anthropocene that creates
