This publication results from a collaborative project between the University of Essex’s Human Rights Centre Clinic and the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (GI-ESCR). The study utilises both quantitative and qualitative legal research methods to explore how international human rights treaties, statements from Human Rights Treaty Bodies (HRTBs) and reports from Special Procedures interpret a feminist approach to energy transition.

The report aims to clarify current standards related to energy transition and assess how international human rights law addresses issues of energy, health and gender. By analysing the responses of international human rights institutions to energy transition and identifying existing patterns and gaps, the report seeks to inform and advocate for a feminist transition towards renewable energy.
