In a world where access to clear, relevant information is key, RENOVERTY believes knowledge should have no language barriers. That’s why the EU LIFE project translated these essential resources into 7 new languages.

This linguistic expansion will allow an even wider audience, including stakeholders, industry professionals, and citizens, to access in-depth data and analysis on the challenges and opportunities related to energy poverty and energy efficiency, particularly in rural zones.

Based on a previous report following a multi-step approach with the objective of upgrading the framework on rural and peri-urban energy poverty, the factsheets offer a detailed overview of policies, initiatives, and best practices for addressing the following:

• Factsheet n°1: Desk-Research Findings provides a comprehensive review of existing knowledge and practices in energy poverty research and policy, identifying key characteristics that contribute to energy poverty in rural areas, such as inefficient housing stock and limited energy choices. It also highlights barriers to designing and implementing energy efficiency policies, including financial, awareness, and geographic hurdles.
