Comparative Case Studies
Justice First brings together community-based research across Canada, Ghana, India, Mexico, Norway and the United States.
Each case study is grounded in a distinct community and context. By bringing these experiences into conversation, we can better understand both the shared challenges of energy transition and the ways that justice, vulnerability, culture and transformation take different forms from place to place.
