课程名称：能源正义：促进更公平的能源未来 课程概述：您是否希望通过能源转型来实现社会正义，但不确定如何实现这一目标？您是否想提升自己的能力，以识别并解决能源领域的不公正现象？如果您是一位可持续发展或环境专业人士，渴望帮助设计公正的能源系统，或者想要推动您所在社区的能源决策公平性，那么这门课程非常适合您！ 能源是现代生活的生命线，但并不是每个人都能平等地享受其带来的好处。能源的生产、运输和使用所带来的环境和社会成本也不均等。在这门课程中，您将探讨能源正义的概念和实践：它是什么样的？社会为何在实现它的过程中捉襟见肘？社会技术能源系统的含义是什么？我们如何能使其更加公平？ 本课程的目的主要是（1）向个人和组织介绍能源正义的概念及其来源；（2）帮助他们构建一个工具包，以识别并利用机会，增加与能源相关的决策和行动的公平性和公正性。完成此课程后，学习者将能够更好地识别并对抗个人和职业生涯中的能源不公正问题，并帮助构想和推动社会中的能源正义。 课程学习目标： 课程结束时，学生将能够： - 定义能源正义并解释其与环境正义、气候正义和能源民主的关系； - 定义结构性不平等并描述历史种族主义对当今能源系统的影响； - 描述能源系统的社会复杂性及其主要物理元素； - 识别并解释能源正义的关键原则和框架； - 区分能源系统中多种不公正形式并分析潜在的补救措施； - 流利地讨论能源不公正和结构性不平等； - 在个人、职业和公民背景中识别和评估能源不公正； - 设计将能源正义融入专业工作和公民生活的策略； - 宣传能源正义作为能源转型和应对气候变化的重要组成部分； - 设想更公正的能源未来。 课程大纲： 1. 课程介绍及能源正义的背景 - 本模块为课程奠定基础，概述目标和方法，了解彼此，反思自身立场，同时阐明抗击能源不公正的必要性，定义能源正义，探讨其源于环境正义并作为对结构性不平等的回应。 2. 能源系统与正义框架 - 本模块将能源系统视为人类和社会（以及物理）现象，邀请学生探索自己的能源系统，并探讨和应用核心的能源正义原则。 3. 构建更公正的能源系统 - 本模块通过研究者和实践者的案例研究，展示能源正义和不公正的多样性，识别并审查应对能源不公正的一系列工具和工具包，并帮助学生启动在个人和职业生活中整合能源正义的方法。
Name:Introduction to the Course and to the Landscape of Energy Justice
Description:This module lays the groundwork for the course, overviewing objectives and approach, meeting one another, and taking a look at our own positionality. It also establishes the imperative for combating energy injustice and defines energy justice, exploring its roots in environmental justice and as a response to structural inequity.
Name:Energy Systems and Justice Frameworks
Description:This module presents energy systems as human and social (as well as physical), invites students to explore their own energy systems, and explores and applies core principles of energy justice.
Name:Creating More Just Energy Systems
Description:This module draws on researchers and practitioners to present varied case studies of energy justice and injustice, identifies and reviews a range of tools and toolkits useful for addressing energy injustice, and helps launch students on the next stage of integrating EJ approaches in their own professional and civic lives.
Are you motivated by the idea that social justice can be served by the energy transition, but are not sure how to make this happen? Do you want to grow your ability to recognize - and do something about - injustice in the energy space? Are you a sustainability or environmental professional eager to help design just energy systems? Do you wonder how to help advance equity in your community’s energy decisions? This course is for you! Energy is the lifeblood of the modern way of life. Yet not everyone has equal access to its benefits, and the environmental and social costs of producing, transporting, and using it are not evenly distributed. In this course you will explore the idea and practice of energy justice: what does it look like? Why are societies struggling to achieve it? What do we mean by sociotechnical energy systems, and how can we make them more equitable? The purposes of this course are (1) to introduce individuals and organizations to the concept of energy justice and where it comes from, and (2) to help them build a toolkit to identify and leverage opportunities to increase fairness and equity in energy-related decisions and actions. After completing this course, learners should be better equipped to recognize and confront energy injustice in their personal and professional lives, and to help envision and foster energy justice in society. Course Learning Objectives At the end of this course, students will be able to: • Define energy justice and explain its relationship to environmental justice, climate justice, and energy democracy • Define structural inequity and describe the impact of historical racism on today's energy systems • Describe the social complexity of energy systems as well as their major physical elements • Identify and explain key energy justice principles and frameworks • Distinguish between multiple forms of injustice in energy systems and analyze potential remedies • Discuss energy injustice and structural inequality with fluency • Identify and assess energy injustices in personal, professional and civic contexts • Design strategies to integrate energy justice into professional work and civic life • Advocate for energy justice as an essential element of energy transitions and climate change mitigation • Envision more just energy futures
