The Gender Gap in the Green Transition
A forthcoming article in Energy Research & Social Science critically examines the concept of gender equality within the global energy transition. The author argues that current frameworks often treat gender as an add-on consideration rather than a core structural component of energy policy and planning. The work calls for a fundamental reimagining of how equity is integrated, moving beyond simple representation to question who is included in defining the goals and benefits of a sustainable energy future.
Why it might matter to you:
For anyone involved in energy policy and procurement, this research highlights a critical blind spot in implementation strategy. It suggests that achieving a just transition requires examining not just technological solutions but the social processes that determine who benefits. This perspective could reshape how public agencies design and evaluate energy programs to ensure they build truly inclusive systems.
