“As if the snow and the cold and the dark weren’t bad enough, a coyote sneaked into the cooking tent and chewed through the camp’s electrics. It blew the fuse on the fridge-freezer and ruined months’ worth of food. The three geologists who were living in the camp, just off the Dempster Highway, an ice road into Canada’s Northwest Territories, had to get a new generator. That meant a week-long round trip to the nearest town, Whitehorse, 900km away.”

“Considering the justice dimension in the energy transition context has become a key requirement for tackling current ecological and social issues. Due to this endeavour’s complexity, quantitative energy models are helpful tools to inform decision-makers about policies’ environmental and social consequences. However, most energy models have not been designed with this dimension firmly embedded. Some crucial questions arise: What is a just energy transition? Can we operationalise it? What does a quantitative model require to study the impacts of the energy transition on vulnerable people? What has already been done in this regard? We explore the conceptual background of energy justice to contribute to answering these questions by analysing how four quantifiable dimensions — energy access, energy security, energy democracy and energy poverty — contribute to addressing justice-related challenges of energy systems.”
