Free

About

Policy dialogue with EU decision makers on the nexus of energy poverty, gender, and health in the Mediterranean region.

The H2020 project EmpowerMed – Empowering women to take action against energy poverty in the Mediterranean tackles energy poverty and helps improve health of people in the coastal areas of Mediterranean countries, with a particular focus on women. After empowering over 4000 households affected by energy poverty from Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Albania to manage their energy consumption and improve their access to appropriate energy resources, the project is now opening a policy dialogue on how to align policies and measures to tackle energy poverty, improve health of people and provide a stronger support for women.
