Ep 2 | What is Energy Poverty? What Does A "Just Transition" Look Like?

In our second episode of the Energy Transition Talk on energy poverty, Paulina and Justine first speak with Dr. Kelly Sanders, a Civil and Environmental Engineering professor at USC who has been recognized in Forbes’ 30 under 30 and MIT Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35. We talk about what energy poverty is, what a “just transition” looks like, the challenges developing economies face in moving towards renewables, the importance of holistic solutions that put people and communities at the center, and the opportunities that abound in the energy transition. Jim then chats with three of Dr. Sanders’ PhD students – Stepp Mayes, McKenna Peplinski, and Andrew Jin – about their research related to renewable energy adoption and heat vulnerability and how the energy transition might help improve the livelihoods of communities, particularly those that lack access to critical services such as heating and cooling.
