Notwithstanding this, current just transitions work continues to focus on the mitigation of harm following fossil fuel industry closures, largely neglecting the potential impacts of future energy developments. While energy justice scholarship scrutinises low-carbon energy sources, it remains largely focused on the mitigation of injustice retrospectively, whereas explorations of future energy types and their potential justice implications are lacking. To address this gap, this paper presents ‘Justice by Design’: an interdisciplinary conceptual framework and practical methodology. Justice by Design integrates energy justice with responsible research and innovation to better anticipate justice in future energy systems, with a view to actively designing and hence delivering just (energy) transitions. We propose that Justice by Design can be used methodologically to scrutinise energy sources, energy technologies, energy projects and place-specific energy system changes. The paper begins by providing critical overviews of just transitions, energy justice and responsible research and innovation literatures. We then present the Justice by Design conceptual framework and methodology, alongside guidance for its implementation. This is followed by discussion on its applicability and limitations. Justice by Design can support the proactive identification of injustice risks while prompting practitioners to seek out justice-building opportunities – setting out an anticipatory justice approach throughout energy system redesign.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 103998"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a lack of systematic research on the change in ecosystem carbon storage, the driving mechanisms, and future predictions under multiple factors of resource-based cities. This study takes Jining, a typical coal resource-based city with high groundwater of China, as a case to explore the changes in carbon storage and driving factors from 2000 to 2020, and to predict the changes in carbon storage under different reclamation and urbanization intensities. The research shows that from 2000 to 2020, ecosystem carbon storage decreased by a total of 15.57 Tg, with 16.76 % of mining areas experiencing a decline in ecosystem carbon storage. Mining factors explain the decrease in ecosystem carbon storage better than urbanization factors. From 2000 to 2020, the top four factors explaining the reduction in ecosystem carbon storage are ranked as follows: land subsidence > land reclamation > nighttime light > GDP. In the short term, land reclamation can offset the carbon loss caused by increased urbanization intensity. Choosing a strategy of low-intensity urbanization and high-intensity reclamation is the best option for maintaining ecosystem carbon storage. This study reveals the driving role of mining activities in the changes of carbon storage in resource-based cities and provides policy-makers with a relatively reasonable land management policy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 103420"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the origin and implementation of these energy poverty alleviation programs. We explore how local governments identify energy-vulnerable populations and design suitable interventions by analyzing policy documents and semi-structured interviews with 35 frontline bureaucrats and program stakeholders. Our research revealed that the logic of energy conservation constrained the development of those supportive programs. There is a tendency to replicate familiar, easy-to-implement measures, such as light bulb replacements, even when they may not fully address local needs. In addition, fragmented governance, inadequate inter-bureau coordination, and high staff turnover further challenge effective implementation. Within this situation, overwhelmed bureaucrats, who often lack the necessary expertise, thus tend to depend heavily on contractors. This study is the first to explore Taiwan’s energy poverty governance and seeks to extend its findings to countries undergoing energy transition and facing emergent energy poverty. We call for improving local energy governance capacity and integrating energy poverty policies into broader social welfare frameworks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23554,"journal":{"name":"Utilities Policy","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 101950"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their preferences shape the adoption of new electricity supply models, such as local energy markets and aggregator models. Whilst previous studies have explored end-user preferences, most have been conducted in liberalised electricity markets, and research on prosumer-specific preferences remains limited. To address these gaps, this study compares preferences of prosumers and consumers in two contrasting electricity market contexts: the liberalised United Kingdom (UK) and centralised South Korea (Korea). With a total sample of 536 respondents from the UK and 392 from Korea, discrete choice experiments were conducted to examine preferences for: (1) consumers buying electricity; (2) prosumers buying electricity; and (3) prosumers selling electricity. Findings indicate that end-user preferences in the UK and Korea differ, reflecting their distinct market structures. Korean end-users strongly prefer national and local governments as electricity generators or providers, whilst UK end-users favour non-profit organisations over private companies. Price emerged as the most important factor for buying and selling electricity, especially in the UK. Interestingly, when selling electricity, Korean prosumers preferred lower prices, suggesting avenues for further research into altruistic or collective motivations. Location factors, such as locally generated electricity, had minimal importance in both countries. Moreover, compared to the fixed-price option, end-users in both countries have yet to embrace alternative attributes, such as direct load control and peer-to-peer trading. Our study highlights the importance of socio-technical contexts in understanding end-user preferences for shaping energy transition policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104072"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of magnitude, the influence of social progress is nontrivial: a 1 percent increase in social progress reduces the shadow economy by about 2 percent. Moreover, considering the distinct dimensions of social performance, the findings reveal that improvements in basic human needs and opportunity aspects of social progress have the most robust effect in reducing the shadow economy.

Using New Jersey’s electricity market as a case study, we simulate household decisions on solar investments, clean-energy participation, and consumption over 40 years (2010–2050) with an agent-based model, running 500 Monte Carlo simulations per approach, validated against 2010–2020 historical data. Results reveal important trade-offs between modeling approaches. Aggregate public data models most accurately track historical consumption and energy burden, while survey-based models, particularly individual-level, predict higher renewable adoption and program participation rates. The individual survey methodology captures greater behavioral heterogeneity and socioeconomic disparities, revealing potential energy justice concerns that remain hidden in aggregate models. Despite these differences, all approaches maintain comparable accuracy in predicting system-level metrics like total electricity consumption. These findings demonstrate that modeling outcomes are very sensitive to initialization highlighting the importance of aligning model design with the intended research question and available data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104071"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
