title: A Just Transition: Energy Regions in the Spotlight?
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: In the Netherlands, regions are considered the crucial geographical scale to address the goals and challenges related to the transformation of our energy systems. This qualitative study applies a Just Transition frame to evaluate how polycentric Regional Energy Transition (RET) strategies, in this case the Dutch RES process, could accelerate a Just Transition and implement the three dimensions of Just Transition practice. A two-part analysis on the content of the RES framework and the perceptions of stakeholders in the ‘Regio Foodvalley’ is conducted. For the latter, information from 12 participating stakeholders was collected to qualify Just Transition barriers and opportunities within RET. The results show that, while stakeholders are engaging with Just Transition practice, shared values are missing. Justice forms should be considered in relation to each other to create a shared story in striving for a Just Transition in service of a sustainable and just future.
