Policy prescriptions to address energy and transport poverty in the United Kingdom

Benjamin K. Sovacool et al.

Summary: Tens of millions of households in Europe struggle to afford electricity, heating, and transportation, and recent high fuel prices may lead to more winter deaths. This study examines the causes and experiences of energy and transport poverty in the United Kingdom through focus groups and expert interviews. The findings suggest policies such as mandatory landlord energy efficiency upgrades, increased financial assistance to households, cheaper or free bus and train fares, and the expansion of bus services, which are accepted by both experts and the public. The study also proposes redesigning energy and transport systems to align with principles of energy and social justice.

What causes energy and transport poverty in Ireland? Analysing demographic, economic, and social dynamics, and policy implications

Christopher Lowans et al.

Summary: This study evaluates for the first time the overlapping conditions and causal mechanisms of energy poverty and transport poverty in Ireland, finding a widespread presence of both and a lack of public knowledge on related factors and solutions. Moreover, self-reported data does not align with expected outcomes. Therefore, precise targeting of individuals and households for support measures is not optimal for decarbonization and alleviating energy and transport poverty conditions, and some relevant policy implications are suggested.

A cross-country analysis of sustainability, transport and energy poverty

Dylan Furszyfer D. Del Rio et al.

Summary: Poverty has a significant impact on people's choices and opportunities, perpetuating a disadvantaged status. The unequal distribution of wealth contributes to global poverty, resulting in disparities in energy consumption and emissions. This study explores the concept of 'double energy vulnerability', finding that low-income households and minorities in different national contexts are at a higher risk of experiencing both energy and transport poverty. The research also raises concerns about achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, as even wealthier countries still struggle with energy and transport poverty. The study concludes that significant policy changes, resource distribution, and investment in social services are necessary for global sustainable development.

Impacts of poverty alleviation on national and global carbon emissions

Benedikt Bruckner et al.

Summary: Carbon inequality reflects global wealth and income inequalities, with wealthy nations having high levels of consumption-based carbon emissions. This study shows that poverty alleviation has limited impact on global emissions, although emissions in poorer countries could more than double. Inequality in wealth and income distribution has direct consequences on consumption patterns, leading to carbon inequality. Although lifting people out of poverty under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1 results in only small relative increases in global emissions, poverty alleviation can significantly increase carbon emissions in low- and lower-middle-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa. To ensure poverty alleviation without exceeding climate targets, high-emitting countries need to reduce their emissions substantially.

Measuring the equity impacts of government subsidies for electric vehicles

Brian Caulfield et al.

Summary: The shift to electric vehicles is considered an important step to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. However, challenges related to charging infrastructure, reliability, range, and environmental impact of batteries need to be addressed. This study analyzes the characteristics of private EV household charger population and finds that urban areas have higher concentrations of EV ownership while lower income categories may face financial barriers to adopting EVs.

Evaluating gaps in knowledge, willingness and heating performance in individual preferences on household energy and climate policy: Evidence from the UK.

Tahamina Khanam et al.

Summary: This study investigates the gaps between knowledge and willingness, willingness and performance, and knowledge and performance among 2137 British residents in relation to carbon dioxide emissions reduction and emerging technologies. The findings reveal that while the respondents have good knowledge about climate change and carbon issues, there is a disparity between their willingness and actual performance. Policymakers and researchers need to address this gap and develop comprehensive plans to meet their emissions reduction targets.

The impact of COVID-19 on future public transport use in Scotland

Lucy Downey et al.

Summary: This paper examines the determinants of changes in future public transport use in Scotland after the COVID-19 pandemic. It finds that respondents anticipate reducing their use of buses and trains and increasing their use of cars after the pandemic. Moreover, a random parameter bivariate probit model is used to analyze the socio-demographic, behavioral, and perceptual factors affecting future public transport usage. Factors such as pre-lockdown travel choices, perceived risk of COVID-19 infection, household size, and region significantly affect intended future use of public transport.

Identifying double energy vulnerability: A systematic and narrative review of groups at-risk of energy and transport poverty in the global north

Neil Simcock et al.

Summary: The concept of 'double energy vulnerability' refers to the heightened risk of energy poverty and transport poverty simultaneously. This paper reviews academic literature to identify socio-demographic and spatial factors that contribute to this vulnerability. Findings show that certain groups such as low-income individuals, older people, households with dependents, people with health conditions or disabilities, women, and ethnic minorities are more vulnerable, while urban areas are more at risk for energy poverty and suburban areas for transport poverty, with rural areas showing the greatest vulnerability overlap.
