| Abstract [eng] |
Low carbon transition is crucial in dealing with climate change and achieving decarbonization targets. However, it has been realized that benefits from this transformation may not he fairly shared, and this greatly depends on diversity within implemented policies. The paper addresses the negative impacts of gender and age inequalities on hw-carbon energy transitions in terms of their e fficacy and equity. It draws on interdisciplinary literature and case studies to assess these systematic barriers to tow-carbon energy transition and economic opportunities for women and older populations，which are the most vulnerable groups of the population These groups face numerous obstacles to the use of low-carbon modern technologies. The results of the study show why policies should adopt a gendered and aged-based perspective to achieve equilibrium and improve the chances of any successful change towards a carbon-neutral society. Strategies are proposed for policymakers， implementers，and scholars to narrow these gaps，focusing on the specific areas of enhancement, policy inclusivity, and stakeholders' engagement This approach adds the dimensions o f equity to the low-carbon energy agenda，broadening the benefits of the transition process while enhancing sustainability and social justice in the outcomes. |
