Make energy transition fair for all
Connecting vulnerable citizens, local solutions, cities, foundations and policymakers to build a transition that is inclusive, concrete and replicable across Europe.
Why this matters
Today, more than 41 million Europeans are unable to afford adequate heating or cooling in their homes.
Climate policy is moving fast — but its social impact is uneven. Low-income households, social renters, women, and vulnerable communities pay the highest price for an energy system that is changing without them.
