Human health and well being are closely intertwined with the
ability to access affordable and modern domestic energy services,
including heating, cooling, lighting, cooking, and information
technology. Energy poverty is said to occur when such amenities
cannot be secured up to a socially- and physically- necessitated
level. Millions of people across the world suffer from energy
poverty due to a combination of financial, social and technical
circumstances. Energy Poverty and Vulnerability provides novel and
critical perspectives on the drivers and consequences of
energy-related injustices in the home. Drawing together original
research conducted by leading experts, the book offers fresh and
innovative insights into the ways in which hitherto unexplored
factors such as cultural norms, environmental conditions and
household needs combine to shape vulnerability to energy poverty.
Case studies from a wide range of countries are presented, thus
providing the first globally-integrated account of a policy and
research domain that has previously been divided between the Global
South and North. An examination of the diverse manifestations of
energy poverty is supplemented by an identification of this
condition's shared and context-specific causes. Conveying
policy-relevant insights that can inform decision-making, this book
can be of great interest to students and scholars of energy demand,
social justice, and sustainability transitions, as well as
decision-makers and practitioners who wish to find out more about
this complex issue.
