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? Marine Cornelis discusses energy and feminism with Mariëlle Feenstra in the new episode of the Energ’Ethic Podcast.
Is the Renovation Wave on track to address the complexity of fuel poverty? European policies seem to be getting a better grasp of the phenomenon. Still, even today, although energy poverty and vulnerability are getting more and more attention from European policymakers, many factors remain entirely unexplored. This is particularly the case for the private rented sector. In this episode of the Energ’Ethic Podcast, we will discuss this issue with Manon Burbidge and Professor Stefan Bouzarovski.

In this paper, I explore the first support measures for energy consumers set up in five countries: Italy, France, Belgium, Spain and the United Kingdom.
In February 2020, we visited Réseau Eco-Habitat, a French organisation helping households affected by energy poverty to renovate their houses. This experience was humbling and made us reflect on the concrete impact research and policy work have on the life of the people. Renovation works started soon after our visit to Benoit’s house.
