Access to sustainable energy that is both clean and affordable has been fundamental to the global economic growth and well-being since the onset of the industrial revolution. It is imperative that we continue to prioritize the utilization of sustainable energy in the twenty-first century. The pressing global imperative to secure a sustainable and clean energy future has escalated in urgency, with the transition to a low-carbon economy emerging as a pivotal strategy to mitigate the escalating impacts of climate change. This paper explains the complex interaction between the energy transition and social justice of making a dimension that necessitates a comprehensive approach embracing social, economic, and environmental considerations. The scope of the paper encompasses the contemporary state of the energy industry, the disparities wrought by energy production on marginalized communities, and strategies tailored to foster a future where energy is clean and accessible incorporating the principles of social justice. Employing a multifaceted methodology, it posits that a robust focus on social justice is imperative for fashioning an effective energy transition that can engender a sustainable future. These challenges encompass the potential displacement of workers entrenched in traditional fossil fuel industries, as well as the uneven distribution of the costs and benefits intrinsic to clean energy solutions. This paper's exploration of the intersection between the energy transition and social justice reveals an inseparable bond that shapes the reliefs of a sustainable and equitable future.
