Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses opportunities and risks in making just green transitions. Existing notions of justice and results of studies of established unfavorable processes in different countries, such as insufficient support of affected groups, mechanisms of rent extraction and corrupt practices, are analyzed. The review outlines serious challenges to the necessary transitions to low carbon energy systems. On this basis, the study argues for the need to build public capacity through a preliminary and consistent framework that clearly outlines pro-development notions of justice, meaningful alignment of social and environmental goals, and honest monitoring of potential problems, along with solutions to overcome them.
