Rural Revival: Empowered Communities and Sustainable Energy in a Changing Climate

This event was co-organised by three EC-funded projects RENOVERTY, RURALITIES and Rural Bio UP to focus attention on the issue of energy poverty, specifically in rural areas. Although the issue of energy poverty is acknowledged and frequently discussed, there remain significant gaps in both understanding and implementation. Data indicates that rural areas in Europe are disproportionately neglected in the pursuit of a clean and equitable energy transition, despite rural populations being more susceptible to poverty, social exclusion, and energy poverty.
