Abstract
From hurricanes and floods to droughts and wildfires, the human and environmental toll of climate change can no longer be ignored. These signs of the times demand courageous, bold, and well-resourced solutions to the world’s energy demands. Of course, the differential human rights impact of energy transitions on diverse populations cannot be ignored nor underestimated. This plenary brings together sustainability experts and activists to explore challenges and opportunities for ensuring that the transition to a clean energy future is just and equitable, particularly for advancing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7. The session creates space for varying regional perspectives from Africa, the Americas, and the Caribbean, and will focus on actionable pathways to a just, inclusive, and equitable energy system.
This session is co-hosted by the University of Dayton Hanley Sustainability Institute (HSI), moderated by Bob Brecha.
