Aim & Objectives

The aim of this Special Issue is to advance economic understandings of how energy transitions affect households, communities, and regions through affordability, access, and distributional channels. Its objectives are to (i) measure and explain energy poverty and energy inequality dynamics during transitions; (ii) assess the distributional impacts of decarbonization policies (e.g., carbon pricing, subsidy reforms, etc.) on different income groups and regions; (iii) evaluate policy schemes that protect vulnerable consumers while maintaining transition credibility; and (iv) identify financing, market design, and governance solutions that enable a just energy transition, including in low-income and climate-vulnerable countries.
