Research question

How might future energy transitions distribute health benefits across sociodemographic populations?

Geographic scope

United States · 2050 scenarios

Evidence base

Energy-transition scenarios and population health assessment

Approach

Scenario-based assessment links changes in the energy system with population exposures and projected health impacts across groups.

Why it matters

The work evaluates not only aggregate health gains but also who is likely to benefit, making distributional equity part of transition planning.
