This paper has two objectives. First, it traces the trajectory of justice claims in the lead-up to the just transition agenda. Second, it explores unfolding just transition measures in the climate-vulnerable Global South. To pursue the first objective, I adopt a historical and political approach. I demonstrate the contested nature of environmental and climate justice claims that preceded just transition. Typically led by communities dependent on land, water, and the environmental commons for livelihoods and life, place-based struggles pushed against dispossession by developmental, modernist states and business. From the 1990 s, with the growing imprint of the climate crisis, states and businesses have increasingly entered the climate solutions arena. At multilateral climate fora such as the UN COPs, states, along with businesses, and finance and technology firms, hold the mantle of just transition today. In this upscaled context, justice concerns play out around the distribution of climate finance, especially from the traditionally polluting Global North to the South. Pursuant of the second objective of the research, and drawing on interview-based data, the paper traces the largest climate finance partnership between North and South: coal-dependent Indonesia’s Just Energy Transition Partnership. In the shaping of Indonesia’s JETP, justice is a tagline. The focus is on energy as investment opportunity—for the scheme’s international funders, and the recipient country. The trajectory of justice from ground–up environmental and climate justice struggles to multilateral climate fora and high-profile North-South just transition programmes shows elitization and depoliticization. It is no surprise that a South-based Just Energy Transition Partnership is far from bringing everybody along. Contributing to critical climate and energy studies, the paper spans scale, space, and time in its interrogation of the unjust energy transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 106906"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyse how the intersection of these inequalities impacts on people’s strategies to enhance their development capabilities. We employ an intersecting inequalities framework to explore the inequalities experienced in the everyday lives of DNTs and generate a clearer understanding of the entanglements and tensions between these inequalities and people’s agency, choices, and coping strategies. We draw on recent scholarship on intersectionality, inequalities, and collective action to inquire into the possibilities for DNTs to navigate these inequalities to enhance their development freedoms and enjoy full citizenship entitlements. The paper draws on findings generated through participatory research methodologies, including innovative ‘ground level panels’ and community-based peer research, undertaken with primarily Muslim-majority DNT groups in India. Theorising pathways to development for intersectionally marginalised groups as contingent on their capacities for collective agency, we find limited evidence of intersectional solidarity, but identify a case where mobilising around religious identity and concealing tribal identity has been pursued as a development strategy. The research demonstrates the potential of participatory methodologies to enable dialogue across difference that can contribute to intersectional solidarities and collective agency. It also highlights the need for development policies to avoid hierarchising and reinforcing inequalities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 106959"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143509083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The food voucher program increases food purchases, consumption, and dietary diversity, and reduces food coping strategies. Households who receive the additional cash transfer continue spending more on food and continue to increase food consumption. These latter effects are concentrated in female-headed households, indicating that the food voucher benefit level fell short either in providing for these families’ nutritional needs or in meeting their food consumption preferences despite the fact that they were assessed as equally impoverished by a proxy means test used to target the program.

In this paper we develop the concept of compound exposure to examine the combined effects of extraction and climate change in the Pacific. Drawing from a global dataset of ETM projects, we have created a first-of-kind sub-set of ETM projects in the Pacific, mapped against indicators of environmental, social, governance and climate vulnerability for the places where those projects are located. We found higher levels of situated vulnerability around ETM projects in the Pacific compared to global results. A rush for the resources in the Pacific will compound the consequences of climate change and the multiple stressors associated with resource extraction and will enlarge exposure to harm. We argue that extractivist solutions to climate change work to close off other pathways and amplify the worst effects of compound exposure in the Pacific, and beyond.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 106958"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143445164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a harmonized dataset from 41 countries and 103 nationally representative surveys, we analyze participation in various income-generating activities and the impact on household income and welfare. This study characterizes income specialization or diversification within households and estimates the relationship between each income source and overall per capita household income as well as the correlation between different livelihood pathways and poverty reduction across expenditure levels. Our findings reveal highly diversified income strategies globally. However, countries in SSA show greater specialization in on-farm income-generating activities compared to Rest of the World (ROW) countries at similar levels of GDP per capita. This divergence raises questions about the nature of structural change in SSA and suggests different transformation pathways, notably towards self-employment in the services sector and less towards non-agricultural wage employment. The study has significant policy implications, highlighting SSA’s emerging different path in structural transformation, which highlight the need for rural development strategies that both enhance the productivity of on-farm income sources as well as growth of the off-farm rural economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 106952"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143427713","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}

Since vegetables are highly perishable, vegetable prices fluctuate dramatically as the result of natural disaster shocks. This study examines the impacts of typhoons on fresh cabbage price and quantity using daily transaction data on the largest wholesale market in Taiwan. We pay special attention to the effects on market price and quantity in different time periods of typhoon visits. We distinguish the effects of price and quantity as a result of the changes in consumer demand and market supply. We further examine whether the sequence of the disaster shocks can result in different outcomes. Employing the difference-in-differences and event study approaches to identify the causal and dynamic effects, we find that the occurrence of typhoons had caused the cabbage market price to rise significantly. The price increases are mainly driven by consumers’ psychological expectations rather than from the supply side. In contrast, the equilibrium quantity of the cabbage market is stable because the stock releases of refrigerated imported cabbage effectively balance the domestic market needs. Finally, the availability bias theory proposed in the behavioral economics literature evidently reinforces Taiwanese consumers’ irrational stockpiling as we find that the cabbage price starts to rise earlier and stays at a high level for a longer time during the second and third typhoon hit Taiwan in the same year.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 106950"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143419918","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}
