A Roadmap to an Equitable Low-Carbon Future: Four Pillars for a Just Transition

The Climate Equity Network, 11th Hour Project, SCOPE, the Environmental Justice Alliance, amongst others, created this report addressing the imperative need for a transition away from fossil fuels to a low carbon future and how this transition requires a fundamental shift in how we use energy. The project seizes this moment of transition by including those who have been historically excluded by expanding access to future jobs and economic opportunities.

“Transition efforts must take a holistic and comprehensive approach that moves beyond addressing only the issue of fossil fuels and consider that for too long, environmental justice communities have borne the environmental and economic costs of the extractive economy while receiving very few of the associated benefits.”
