Description
The Transport Poverty project aims to work on defining the concept of energy poverty at a European level, and define indicators to be able to quantify it. Subsequently, provide support in public policies to be able to address the problem through the conclusions that are drawn.
It is a project of the DG Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion of the European Commission, coordinated by the OEKO Institute of Fribourg, and also involving WiseEuropa, Cambridge Econometrics, Center Study of Democracy, the University of Manchester and us, Ecoserveis.
