Dear all (sorry for self-promotion),
I would like to share my article, recently published in Ecological
Economics, if some of you might be interested. This study deals with an
interdisciplinary topic related to energy or ecological social sciences,
economics, and moral or political philosophy (energy or climate justice).
Energy poor need more energy, but do they need more carbon? Evaluation of
people's basic carbon needs
https://authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S0921-8009(21)00139-7 (Open access)
Highlights:
Develop a new concept of "basic carbon needs," and quantitatively evaluate
people's basic carbon needs (at the household or individual level), using a
novel approach (here, "basic carbon needs" are derivative needs, derived
from "basic energy needs," rather than inherent needs).
Define energy poverty using this "basic energy needs" concept (here, people
in energy poverty are defined as the people who cannot fulfil their "basic
energy needs").
Show that people in energy poverty need greater carbon emissions to fulfil
their basic energy needs than the affluent population, which relates to
"climate justice" issues ("subsistence emissions"), long been debated since
the classical paper Henry Shue (1993).
Empirically Illustrate energy justice issues regarding basic carbon needs
(related to gas grid, renewables, or nuclear power after Fukushima
accident).
As you can see, there is still room for improvement in this new method I
have developed. If you are working on this kind of methodological or
conceptual issues (or international comparison), let's discuss it and
collaborate with us.
Thank you very much for your valuable time.
Sincerely,
Shinichiro Okushima
