Justice and equity in sustainable transformation
What do we want?
The COJUST project aims to co-produce energy and climate policies with and for low-income groups in Norway. By looking more closely at equality and justice aspects of sustainable change, the project will be able to develop effective and fair measures that have support in the population!
What do we do?
COJUST is focusing on three different municiplaities; Trondheim, Bergen and Stavanger. We study the role and principles of equality and justice in policy development, and work with new forms/ types of participation that can capture the interests of low-income groups in a better way.
Who are we?
We are researchers from the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of culture, Center for Science and technology at NTNU Trondheim. We also collaborate with relevant societal, environmental and socially oriented organizations and municipalities in Norway; The Future in our hands, Trondheim municipality, Stavanger municipality, Bergen municipality, LO, Bymisjonen, The Church City Mission and RE:ACT. These actors contribute with critical questions, discussions, and perspectives throughout/during this research.
