ABSTRACT
Today, conversations around just transitions focus in part on energy sources, carbon emissions, and employment in the fossil fuel industry. McCauley and Heffron, for example, contend that a just transition is a way to shift energy systems away from fossil fuels, decarbonize the energy industry, and move toward clean energy technology and green jobs. The idea of transforming the often-unjust socio-environmental arrangements of our present is not only about moving away from fossil fuels, reducing carbon, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. When we delineate this responsibility across nation-states, America and Europe are responsible for 53% of historic carbon emissions. She explores how practices like cycling shape a narrative of the model Swedish ecological citizen as an ideal type which can serve to further exclude other residents in ethnically diverse communities on the outskirts of Stockholm.
