Description:

This research paper examines the complex relationship between green and renewable energy sector financial literacy and its impact on inequality and environmental degradation in Mexico. Through interdisciplinarity that engages environmental justice theory, financial inclusion frameworks, and sustainable development perspectives, this research reveals how limited financial literacy in renewable energy technologies consolidates socioeconomic inequalities while advancing environmental degradation. The research concludes that intense financial literacy programs to renewable energy literacy, combined with comprehensive policy frameworks, are essential to providing just energy transitions, which address both environmental and social justice concerns in Mexico's path toward sustainable development.
