The Just Transitions Lab

Energy and Land Use

We assess questions related to how energy systems impact land, ecosystems, and communities, and how energy landscapes can be restored and improve environmental equity.

Circular Economy & Supply Chains

Our research looks at how we can understand how waste can be utilized as resources and how to make supply chains more sustainable and just.

Energy Justice, Environmental Justice, Water Justice, and Climate Justice

We look at the key issues at the root of environmental inequalities from pollution burdens, to climate vulnerabilities to water equity.
