This project aims to bridge the gap in knowledge regarding net-zero energy transitions and energy justice in rural India. India with its geographical, cultural and topographical diversity, remains at a critical point in progressing a net-zero energy transition that is just. A key set of geographical issues that require further research concern the ways that rural communities are implicated in this transition processes due to i) India's demographic spread in terms of social, economic and cultural institutions in various regions ii) the impact (both positive and negative) of renewable energy generation such as solar and wind energy on rural landholdings, livelihood and social beliefs and customs; and iii) the lack of coordination between stakeholders such as the local governments, the residents and the project developers. This research, using practice-based 'user-inspired and 'user useful' approaches incorporating both scientific and local/indigenous knowledge (Reed, 2008; Cowling et al., 2008) will assess the impacts of renewable energy development on rural communities and livelihoods in India and develop tools, using local knowledge for engaging communities, to achieve socially-just renewable energy transitions.

该项目旨在弥合印度农村地区在能源净向零过渡和能源正义方面的知识差距。印度由于其地理、文化和地形的多样性，仍然处于推进能源净零过渡的关键时刻。需要进一步研究的一组关键地理问题涉及农村社区参与这一过渡进程的方式，原因如下：1)印度各地区社会、经济和文化机构的人口分布；2)太阳能和风能等可再生能源发电对农村土地所有权、生计和社会信仰及习俗的影响(包括正面和负面影响)；3)地方政府、居民和项目开发商等利益攸关方之间缺乏协调。这项研究采用以实践为基础的“用户启发”和“用户有用”的方法，结合科学知识和当地/土著知识(Reed，2008；Cowling等人，2008)，将评估可再生能源发展对印度农村社区和生计的影响，并开发工具，利用当地知识让社区参与进来，实现社会公正的可再生能源过渡。
