“…Recognizing and addressing potential conflicts while fostering synergies are crucial for navigating the ethical dimensions in energy education and ensuring a just energy transition. Meanwhile, the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between Social Sciences and Humanities in addressing energy transition through smart consumption is emphasized (Robison et al, 2023).…”

This study explores the crucial roles of energy literacy, transition, and justice in addressing the global climate crisis. Through a systematic bibliometric survey and thematic analysis of existing literature, we identify a scarcity in research (<0.1%, n = 17,773) concurrently integrating the three crucial terms: energy literacy; energy transition; and energy justice. This study emphasizes the importance of energy literacy in empowering societies to make informed decisions, which is essential for facilitating equitable energy transitions and achieving sustainability goals. We delve into the interconnections between energy literacy and energy justice, proposing the integration of these concepts into educational systems, including social media platforms to foster an understanding of energy systems, their environmental impacts, and socio-economic implications. Emphasizing the strategic use of social media, the study also introduces the ‘COMPEL Justice’ framework—Communities Prepared for Energy Literacy and Justice—which aims to enhance public engagement and participation in energy transition initiatives. By analyzing publications from various academic and governmental sources, we provide insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie in promoting energy literacy and justice, particularly in the context of global efforts to mitigate climate change and enhance energy equity. Finally, exemplary application and implications associated with the adoption of the proposed framework within the context of oil-producing regions (e.g., Louisiana in the United States) are presented.

“…This process is repeated until a consensus is reached or until the experts' opinions converge [51,52]. The Delphi method is often used to make informed decisions and forecast future developments in fields such as public policy [53], management [52], industry [54], and energy consumption [49].…”

“…The 100 questions approach is a process of identifying emerging issues or questions that, if answered, have the potential to impact decision-making in the respective sector [35][36][37][38]. Over the last 20 years, this approach has been successfully conducted in many fields, including landscape restoration [39], forestry [40], agriculture [41], urban stream ecology [42], microbial ecology [43], hydrology [44], conservation physiology [45], fish migration [46], recreational fisheries [47], and smart (energy) consumption [48,49]. This integrative approach seeks to incorporate and dialogue with various stakeholders, including practitioners, legislators, and researchers, to refine and distill a set of questions until 100 high-priority questions emerge [35][36][37].…”
