| Abstract: | The city of Malmö is recognized as one of the world's leading cities in the pursuit of sustainable development, with ambitious targets for renewable energy adoption and climate neutrality, aiming to surpass both the European Union target for Sweden and the Sweden´s National Plan. However, despite its green development achievements, Malmö faces significant social challenges that coexist and complicate its pursuit of sustainable development. The city has experienced substantial integration, segregation, and marginalization challenges of immigrant population This study explores how the city's strategic energy policies that aim to achieve its environmental and sustainability goals, including the Energy Strategy, 2024 Budget, and the city´s Master Plan, consider the societal challenges and include social equity on the transition to renewable energy. The study explores whether these policies consider the inequalities that vulnerable groups face within the city to ultimately achieve a Just Energy Transition and true sustainable development. Specifically, the study analyses to what extent the core tents of a Just Transition, distributive, procedural and recognitional justice, are present in the policies. |
