本研究は、インドの石炭依存地域における公正なエネルギー移行の準備状況を評価する。政府、研究機関、市民社会から選定された関係者へのインタビューを通じて、分配的・認識的・手続的公正の枠組みを用いて課題と機会を分析。非公式労働者の不可視性や地域の経済依存といった分配的公正の懸念が支配的である一方、手続的包摂の欠如が不平等を強化している。技術革新やグリーンファイナンスが公正性向上の可能性を持つが、制度的定着が鍵となる。
English
This study assesses India's readiness for a just energy transition by interviewing stakeholders from government, research, and civil society in coal-dependent regions. Using a justice framework covering distributional, recognition, and procedural dimensions, it finds that distributional concerns—especially informal labor invisibility and regional economic dependency—dominate, intertwined with weak procedural inclusion. Opportunities from technological innovation and green finance could enhance fairness if institutionalized. The paper contributes to Global South energy justice debates.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文はインドを対象とするが、日本の石炭依存地域や産業構造転換においても、非正規労働者や地域経済への配慮など公正な移行の教訓を提供する。日本国内のGX政策（例：グリーントランスフォーメーション推進戦略）における社会的公正の組み込みに示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global just transition literature by highlighting how informality and institutional barriers shape energy justice in the Global South. It offers empirical insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to embed equity into low-carbon transitions, complementing frameworks like the ILO's just transition guidelines.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Climate change has emerged as a critical barrier to economic development, prompting a global shift toward low‐carbon energy systems. For India, whose economy remains heavily reliant on coal, this transition entails complex socioeconomic and institutional challenges related to energy security, livelihoods, and regional dependence. This study assesses India's readiness for a just energy transition by engaging purposively selected respondents from government, research, and civil society sectors. Employing a justice framework that encompasses distributional, recognition, and procedural dimensions, a thematic‐analytical approach is used to examine the challenges, opportunities, and impacts shaping India's coal transition. The findings indicate that concerns of distributional justice, particularly the invisibility of informal labor and regional economic dependency, dominate stakeholder perceptions but are closely intertwined with recognition and procedural deficits. Weak procedural inclusion and limited recognition of informal actors reinforce inequities in benefit distribution, highlighting institutional barriers within India's transition architecture. Simultaneously, emerging opportunities through technological innovation, green finance, and inclusive governance hold potential to enhance fairness and resilience, provided they are effectively institutionalized. This study contributes to Global South energy justice debates by offering an analytical understanding of how informality and institutional inertia shape transition outcomes. It underscores that embedding justice principles within governance and policy frameworks through coordination, participatory mechanisms, and targeted inclusion of informal workers is essential for achieving an equitable and sustainable low‐carbon future.
