On December 12, 2024, LOCALISED in collaboration with CMCC organised an online webinar titled “Energy Justice for Vulnerable Households: How Can Induced Changes in Low-Carbon Lifestyles Increase Energy Poverty Risk?” focused on the activities of our project on energy poverty and low-carbon transitions.
By examining household expenditure patterns and regional vulnerabilities, our partners Gerard Martínez Görbig (University of Twente) and Soheil Shayegh (CMCC) showcased a three-dimensional framework to identify socioeconomic groups at risk. It highlighted:
- Regional Context: How infrastructure and externalities shape household vulnerability.
- Household lifestyles: The interplay between household activities and energy-related expenditures.
- Structural Injustices: The added vulnerability faced by minorities and marginalized groups.
Attendees gained insights into mapping regional characteristics, identifying high-risk groups, and designing equitable climate measures tailored to European regions.
The feedback from the 21 online participants was overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the importance of this timely discussion.
