The energy transition is making the headlines. Interest in energy transition comes from a range of actors including peoples in resistance, workers, academics, and public administrations, as well as large corporations, international institutions, and governments. The energy transition paradigm, if it exists, runs a serious risk of being co-opted by large companies, or being trivialised and used to perpetuate existing power relations.
This handbook lays out the current debates in order to promote a vision of what a just and necessary peoples’ energy transition should look like. The handbook was originally published in Spanish.
