The energy transition is often spoken about in ambitious. But ultimately it is about cities trying to implement plans, municipalities grappling with rising costs, and communities asking a simple question: what does this mean for us?
What does a “just transition” actually look like on the ground?

Organised by the Politics and Urban Governance Research Group, the exhibition offered a compelling lens into how water and energy access is experienced, and what this means for the transition.
