The global transition to renewable sources of energy has become a pressing imperative as countries strive to mitigate climate change and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. However, amidst the prevailing discourses, a critical detail that often escapes the spotlight is the disproportionate distribution of the burdens and benefits arising from this transition. Frequently, when prioritising macro-level climate commitments, the localised impacts of interventions implemented at the community level are often overlooked and disregarded. Unless adequate policy measures are taken to address these impacts a shift to renewables will only exacerbate pre-existing inequities that could potentially threaten the sustainability of the transition. Thus, the following chapter intends to shed light on the effectiveness of social dialogue as a policy instrument to address the equity and distributional justice concerns associated with the energy transition. Furthermore, this review will be enhanced through the inclusion of case studies from three different countries, at different stages of the energy transition. These case studies will examine instances where communities have faced significant challenges resulting from the transition as well as situations where governments have implemented adequate measures to foster inclusivity and social justice, ensuring that the renewable energy transition benefits all stakeholders equitably.
