Abstract

The importance of the universal provision of energy services was not recognized until 1986 in the Brundtland report. As a result, energy poverty, fuel poverty, and transport poverty, among others, have taken more than two decades to be recognized as social challenges for different agents. This Notebook addresses energy poverty in general, in the Global North and the Global South, its conceptualization, central units of measurement and policies to address it. It also shows how all of the above fits into the framework of global warming and the energy transition to detect leading practices and forms of action, as well as possible points in common between some measures and others to understand to what extent it is the same problem, the lack of an adequate level of domestic energy services, but in different time stages and geographical environments.
