Our empirical research on large-scale green grabbing for renewables in Brazil @naturesustain.bsky.social (link here ➡️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...) motivated @jonathanmoens.bsky.social and @thojbauer.bsky.social to dig deeper in an investigative journalism project. Congratulations, fantastic work!

In addition, we assess various leverage points co-designed by citizens and stakeholders to promote a socially just energy transition, and discuss options such as reconciling split incentives, expanding rent control and decommodified housing. 5/n

From a systemic perspective, we show how rising rents and energy costs strain disposable income, reinforcing dynamics among income, stress, renunciation and mental health. We highlight policy flaws that may exacerbate energy and housing vulnerabilities, esp. for tenants and low-income groups. 4/n

Based on different stakeholder and citizen perspectives, we identify a variety of local challenges and obstacles to the energy transition that are linked to five dimensions of social justice: distributive, procedural, recognitional, and intergenerational justice as well as intersectionality. 3/n

In the city of Innsbruck rents and shares of fossil fuel-based heating systems are among the highest in Austria. To boost a low-carbon energy transition, policies primarily target the promotion of energy efficiency. However, technology-driven solutions raise a series of intersectional issues. 2/n
