As individuals, countries, and organizations contend with the transition to low-carbon energy systems to mitigate climate change, it is crucial to examine the issues of justice that could arise in this process. This article disentangles features of energy production, distribution, and consumption that create injustices with the aim of clarifying what constitutes energy justice. It argues that energy justice is upheld when individuals and countries minimize the harm their energy use causes while fulfilling the duty to provide energy, where possible, to those who need it to meet their basic needs.
