English
This paper applies a novel 'Justice by Design' methodology to anticipate energy (in)justice in the Galápagos Islands' transition from fossil fuels to renewables. Based on fieldwork, it identifies risks and opportunities across multispecies, multi-scalar systems, highlighting interdependencies among food, water, energy, and land use. It provides recommendations for policymakers to foster just energy futures.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX政策でも、地域の公正な移行やエネルギー貧困の回避が注目される。本論文の多種・多規模な視点は、日本における再生可能エネルギー導入と地域社会の関係を考察する上で示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
This study contributes to the growing global scholarship on energy justice and just transitions, offering a methodological framework applicable to any region facing energy system changes. Its emphasis on anticipatory justice is relevant for international frameworks like the Paris Agreement and SDGs, highlighting the need to embed equity in transition planning from the outset.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Energy justice scholars can adopt the 'Justice by Design' methodology for anticipatory analysis in other contexts.
🏢実務担当者:Local energy planners and NGOs can use the identified risks and recommendations to design inclusive renewable projects.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in island or ecologically sensitive regions can learn from the Galápagos case to avoid lock-in to unjust energy systems.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract The Galápagos Islands often live in the collective imaginary as an ecological oasis of abundant, sustainable life. While surrounded by sustainability expectations, pressures and needs, the archipelago remains highly dependent on fossil fuels. The climate crisis demands urgent decarbonisation away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy. In parallel, energy justice and just transitions scholarships have elucidated the risks of the energy transition. An incipient arena of research is that of anticipatory energy justice, which focuses on the design of future energy systems based on their (in)justice potential. No such research has been undertaken in the context of the Galápagos. Using Justice by Design, a novel methodology for anticipatory energy justice, this paper presents findings from fieldwork conducted in the Galápagos in July 2024. Through thematic analysis, we anticipate justice risks and opportunities relating to the emergent energy transition. We find that energy futures in the Galápagos are inseparable from the multi-scalar, multispecies relationships characterising the archipelago. Findings focus attention on interdependent systems of needs—including food, water and energy security, economic resilience and land use—for humans and biodiversity, in constant interaction with external interests. Anticipated (in)justices include competing multispecies land use pressures; questions of energy security and affordability; institutional dynamics, regulatory gaps and siloes; the appeal of prosumerism or the distributional burdens and opportunities of locally based renewable energy production. Grounded in the findings, we propose recommendations for future research and for local policymakers. This paper makes methodological and empirical contributions to anticipatory energy justice and spotlights key risks and opportunities that could inform sustainable and just energy futures in the Galápagos.
