The ESRC Just Energy investigated access to justice for vulnerable and energy-poor people in five European countries and regions (UK, France, Italy, Bulgaria and Catalonia – Spain). Now reaching its end, listen to this episode to hear a few highlights.
“There is so much more to the energy system than technical decisions about moving electrons along a wire”
What is missing to build a truly just, intersectional and inclusive transition? How can academic research be linked with almost 15 years of experience in the public and private sectors?
