| Summary: | This commentary advocates for a wider proliferation of the energy justice concept in Arctic energy research. It maintains that the concept provides a novel, human-centric approach to evaluating issues stemming from energy exploration, development, production, and use. The commentary opens with a brief survey of the human dimensions of the changing Arctic before linking them to energy activities in the region. It then proposes energy justice as a conceptual and contextual tool, intending to inform policy and practice. |
