This webinar took place on June 16th and was organised by the Covenant of Mayors Europe.The aim was to provide examples of good practices notably from the EmpowerMed project of alleviating energy poverty and collecting gender-disaggregated data at local level.Energy poverty - currently experienced by between 30 and 60 million of Europeans - refers to the situation when households are unable to access enough energy to ensure dignified living conditions at an affordable price. Although the direct and indirect drivers and causes are multiple, poor insulation of buildings, high energy bills and low incomes are the three main factors leading to it. Energy poverty is not a gender-neutral phenomenon and is more common among women, especially single mothers and the elderly. However, the clear lack of gender-disaggregated data represents an obstacle to the design and implementation of effective policies: indeed, a vicious circle emerges: no data, no visibility, no interest, no action, no accountability.
