Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce the Special Issue “Transitioning Household Energy towards Sustainability”. Transitions to modern energy sources and appliances are not only crucial for achieving climate pledges, but also to reduce global inequalities. Several gaps still remain, not only in the Global South, where lack of access and economic hardship are factors preventing the adoption and regular use of modern energy services, but also in some regions of the Global North, where policies towards sustainability have been hampered due to the current geopolitical climate. Bridging these gaps will require a combination of policies focused on providing universal access to modern energy services and equitable economic growth that allow all households to benefit from accessing these sources.
Submitted works may focus on:
- Analyzing historical trends and the effectiveness of policies towards energy transition;
- Household demand of modern energy services and factors preventing the adoption and regular use of modern energy services;
- Environmental or individual impacts of the energy transition;
- Equity assessments of the energy transition, including considerations beyond income inequality (e.g., gender, race, education), within and/or across countries.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Miguel Poblete-Cazenave
Guest Editor
