• IEA UsersTCP "Empowering all: Gender Equality for the Energy Transition”

  Intersectional factors such as gender, age, and socioeconomic status influence access to and use of energy in private households. The resulting inequalities are examined in the project through a survey, focus groups, policy guidelines, and a TCP Gender Knowledge Hub for inclusive energy transitions. This contributes to a fairer, more sustainable energy transition and promotes systematic inclusion in energy policy.

  In order to counteract climate change in the particularly sensitive macro-region of the Alps, the Alpine countries have set themselves net-zero targets for heating and cooling. The ALPHA project, which is co-financed by the EU, is developing ways to decarbonise the Alpine heating, cooling and building sector.
