It mandates that ≥35% (aim: 40%) of climate funding benefits disadvantaged communities.

Last week, we organised our energy poverty workshop during the #RightToEnergyForum - the very first one focusing on #energypoverty and #PublicHealth .
An important step to share priorities, challenges and to identify joint working strands between sectors.

🧐Health improvements still happen more by accident rather than thx to systematic work. Health is seen as a consequence of #energypoverty measures, not as part and parcel of it. #Publichealth needs to be put at the very 1st stage of planning & policies.

🌍 How can we ensure clean, affordable energy for all? At the @RightToEnergy Forum, we explored the Fit for 55 Package’s potential to tackle energy poverty - and its limits. Urgent action is needed to address root causes like market design flaws and carbon inequalities.

We need affordable sustainable #housing in the EU and it must be powered by affordable, clean energy.
We emphasise the urgency of action with a @foeeurope exhibition that pictures how people face energy poverty and fight for the #RightToEnergy to #EndEnergyPoverty.

Since unequal access to energy impacts health, exacerbating health inequities, EPHA tackles this topic as a social determinant of health.
As @TomasdeJong stressed at the #RighttoEnergy forum, a Just Transition requires prioritising energy access as vital for health & well-being.

At the #RighttoEnergy Forum, @TomasdeJong stressed that energy poverty is a social issue with critical health implications.
🌡️ #EnergyPoverty can lead to poor health, while high healthcare costs can deepen energy poverty.
Breaking this vicious cycle is key to health equity.
