Si no medimos la justicia ¿cómo sabemos que la transición energética es justa?
Summary
This fact sheet by Transforma argues that the energy transition must be measured by transformed lives rather than megawatts, calling for the COP 30 presidency and member states to center justice in the global roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels.
Key insights
- The document identifies four core components of justice in the energy transition: providing economic alternatives for communities dependent on fossil fuels, ensuring universal access to safe and affordable renewable energy, establishing effective mechanisms for information access and participation, and preventing socio-environmental conflicts and the impacts of extractivism.
- In Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, over 4.7 million people lacked electricity access in 2022. Additionally,S 57.8 million people across these four countries, primarily women and girls, still rely on charcoal or firewood, which leads to health risks and high pollution levels.
- There is a significant labor imbalance in the energy sector within Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, where fossil fuel jobs exceed 780,000, while renewable energy jobsS jobs are fewer than 650,000. The document warns that without active retraining and conversion policies, this gap could worsen territorial and social inequalities.
- Between 2022 and 2024, more than 700 socio-environmental conflicts related to the energy sector were recorded across the four mentioned countries. While participation mechanisms exist, the document notes the ongoing challenge of making citizen participation truly effective and binding.
