Addressing a range of environmental crises (pollution, climate change, the connected adaptation, mitigation, and transition strategies) requires inclusive approaches that ensure a fair and equitable transition in energy and material use.

Our work

We evaluate how socioeconomic, institutional, and cultural mechanisms have contributed to environmental, climate, and social injustice for marginalized groups through theoretical and empirical work. Focus areas include justice considerations in relation to air pollution, energy poverty, climate impacts, climate adaptation and mitigation. We also evaluate the behavior of different segments of society in relation to the transition away from fossil fuel sources of energy. We examine how those mechanisms carry forward into the future through theoretical and numerical models that incorporate equity considerations.
