As Australia transitions to more sustainable energy sources, it’s clear that the benefits and burdens of this shift are not being shared equally. While some communities enjoy greater access to clean, affordable energy, others are forced to choose between heating or cooling their homes and putting food on the table. There are communities also at risk of being left behind in the energy transition, bearing disproportionate costs.
On the 18 February 2025, Consumer Policy Research Centre (CPRC) held a workshop with leaders from the energy, justice, and consumer advocacy sectors. Our keynote international guest speaker, Shalanda Baker, brought unique insights as the Vice Provost for Sustainability and Climate Action at the University of Michigan and former Director of the Office of Energy Justice and Equity at the U.S. Department of Energy.
