Increasingly, scholarly debates and policy developments on citizen participation in energy transitions have included calls for 'energy democracy' active forms of citizenship'. The concepts are tightly connected to the debate transition, need a decentralised system, based renewable increased local ownership. two exist parallel sometimes used as synonyms with clear distinctions made between them. This spurred an interest systematically investigate them further. aim this paper is identify similarities differences synthesise their contributions transitions. We review literature thematically, finding that often refer domestic technologies, communities, transition movements, policy. Energy citizenship tends emphasise behaviour change ways individuals participate systems, thereby focusing agents change. In contrast, democracy focus institutionalisation new participative governance placing collectives central also highlights some weaknesses literature: bias towards lack attention representational democracy, underrepresentation studies from outside Europe North America.

Given the growing frequency, severity, and salience of social mobilization community action on energy climate issues, in this study we systematically explore configurations types infrastructure, actors, tactics, outcomes recent opposition to transitions across seven carbon-intensive regions Asia, Europe, North America. Based both a literature review an original dataset 130 case studies spanning past decade, track wide range infrastructure these regions, including low-carbon options such as renewable nuclear power; provide network analyses actors coalitions involved events; develop typology frequency analysis tactics (such litigation or protest), remuneration, policy change, concessions, labor protections). We show that politics varies significantly from country energy, discuss how can be explained by differences national institutions their responses global supranational pressures. By bringing sociotechnical comparative perspective movements transitions, suggest goals transition are refracted through subnational local mobilizations support opposed those transitions.

For the energy transition, Social Innovation (SI) has been defined as innovations that contribute to low-carbon civic empowerment, and social goals through initiatives such new forms of governance, configurations, supportive policies regulations, business models. This work systematically reviews literature identify (potential) impacts SI bottom-up on sustainable transitions. Based bibliometric qualitative content analysis, works were classified by type SI, related renewable source, geographical context. Associated sociotechnical changes, obstacles, enabling factors are also indicated. Main findings show an important role in local transitions but limited power challenge regime scale-up. just transitions, it can facilitate access, co-production, democracy, participatory processes besides bringing regional socio-economic development building community capacity. deployment co-ownership finance. Also, community-led actions a unique position access tacit knowledge, influence individual behavior, use them build more cities. Finally, research limitations directions towards future presented.

Here we propose a framework for considering the justice issues of industrial cluster decarbonisation, pressing challenge confronting many industrialised economies. Industrial clusters are large, multi-point source emitters, users energy and employers regional national significance. In UK, establishing low carbon is one several grand challenges strategy. Theorising just transition requires concepts from multiple literatures. We abstract relevant themes intersections literatures transitions, innovation studies sociotechnical public participation in spatial planning, illustrate their empirical relevance.

Amidst heightened global power rivalries, the geopolitical aspects of energy transition are taking centre stage, with even liberal-minded countries growing wary about foreign investment in sector and dependencies created by value chains green technologies. Building on current debates 'geopoliticization' economic policies, this paper sets out a conceptual framework to assess extent which is becoming geopoliticized European Union (EU) its impact international relations. Theoretically, makes case for considering geopoliticization as missing link study politicization securitization International Relations, allowing more fine-grained diagnosis trends their likely evolution. Empirically, analysis identifies structural geopoliticizing dynamics EU's framing transition, although different degrees depending concrete issue at hand. While demands factoring consequences ever louder, normatively, raises note caution against adverse may have low-carbon systems.

Energy communities have received considerable attention in the Global North, especially Europe, due to their potential for achieving sustainable energy transitions. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), less partly nascent systems many emerging SSA states. this paper, we argue that these offer an opportunity co-create can tackle access challenges faced by most countries. To understand how such are realised sub-region, undertake a systematic review of research on 46 Our findings show only few projects exhibit conventional characteristics communities; projects, local inadequately resourced institute and manage own projects. We thus look stakeholder engagement approaches propose co-design as strategy strengthening SSA. further embed our proposal democracy thinking be pathway towards equity justice conclude indeed contribute improving Africa, but they need enabling policy environment foster growth sustainability.

In the context of current planetary environmental and social emergency, it is essential to seek strategies for sustainable development. line with Social Development Goals (SDG), these must facilitate action from an energy perspective give citizens a central role. Given that global challenges be addressed through local action, transition towards decentralisation Local Energy Communities (LEC) importance. The general objective this research identify characteristics are key in order LEC act as driver development innovation. This paper has deepened knowledge around structures keys their effective operation. Attention also focused on actions carried out by communities field beyond. corroborates while some them only engage energy, others more integrative. These latter implement number different – SDGs— promote study concludes LECs high-potential can drivers
