Wind energy: considering spatial and temporal justice issues
To accelerate the expansion of wind turbines, several European countries have tried to streamline their planning and implementation processes in recent years. However, progress is frequently hindered by conflicts of interest and competing objectives between wind energy stakeholders, highlighting underlying issues of justice. In a paper, the JustWind4All project team developed a nuanced understanding of the notions of acceleration and justice in energy transitions. The researchers from the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) and the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions BV (DRIFT) developed a heuristic that can be used by research and energy policy to make temporal and spatial justice issues visible and understandable to enable an energy transition that is both just and accelerated.
