Critical Commentary
The Energy in COVID-19 monthly Media Briefs collect the latest news read by our working group members. Click here to find the April 2021 Media Brief of the Energy in COVID-19 Research Group.
This April edition of the Energy Right’s Project Media Brief is framed by the literature on racial capitalism. Thus, we continue to expose how the pandemic has intersected with other catastrophes and structural inequities in ways that have intensified the forces of structural racism. We also discuss implications of this intersection for performing a just transition to renewable energy and for considering the role that energy services play in the fulfilment of human rights.
