Decarbonisation strategies in industry: going beyond clusters

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Lessons from last winter - fighting energy poverty and ill-health Capacity-building for cities caring for energy justice. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

The energy poverty situation is systematically worse for specific parts of the population: people with low-income, specific health conditions or/and those who are part of a minority. One poverty often comes with another, overlapping with physical and mental health problems. Short-term alleviation measures don’t go far enough. Structural empowerment by improving not only the homes, but also the health of vulnerable people is needed. A whole new urban program focusing on this energy poverty-health nexus needs to be invented by cities across Europe. During this session, city experts involved in the WELLBASED project will share initial findings from their research in cities that are attempting to tackle energy poverty and health. This includes insights into people’s daily lives this winter, and the consequences for their health. Building such an understanding of experiences of energy poverty is a crucial step towards better policy-making and effective local support schemes. Speakers: * Veronika Jirickova, Energy Efficiency Policy Officer, European Commission - DG ENER * Joao Pedro Gouveia, Senior Researcher, NOVA University Lisbon/EPAH * Victoria Pellicer-Sifres, Energy Officer at Las Naves * Marta Garcia Paris, Energy Consultant at Ecoserveis * Dina Bite, Lecturer & Researcher at Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities, Latvia Univ. * Merel Stevens, Jun. researcher at Erasmus Medical School * Elena Rocher, Health Program Officer at Las Naves Expected outputs This event is mainly for policy influencers and local stakeholders wanting to propose services that benefit the most vulnerable and cities wanting to design exit energy poverty strategies. They can learn from existing experiences, ask questions and find interesting contacts. The evidence-based recommendations shared by the speakers from their ground and research work during last winter, can be useful inputs for public authorities who will engage in mid- and long-term measures on energy justice.
