Urban Just Transitions

We are a research cluster at the University of Toronto Scarborough working with community partners towards equity and climate action

Our Approach

We recognize that community-led efforts in energy and all transitions are best equipped to serve place-based needs. This is why we are committed to working with community partners as we develop our research project. Together, we can envision just transitions work and our academic areas of expertise can inform specific action points.
