In the 2022 financial year the project was gradually advanced, with some initial useful outcomes. Three research meetings were held domestically in Kyushu and Kyoto. The evaluation of some of the end uses of minerals in transportation, from the perspective of environmental and resource impacts were undertaken. This work considered the shift from petrol to electric vehicles in Australia, considering the shift of environmental burdens from urban to rural communities. The base data will be used in the next phase of the deliberation in the project. The focus of Just Transition was clarified for the project, as the importance of social equity in energy and resource transitions is still lacking - particularly for critical mineral producing communities that are indirectly impacted by the energy transition. Australia has been identified as one important case study and data sources are available for the research there. The project also leveraged synergies with another to evaluate public understanding of Just Transitions and the priority for hydrogen economy options. These initial results were reported in 3 international conference papers and 3 invited lectures at different international conferences. Some baseline surveys were undertaken that will help build the final interaction platform.
