The core aim of this Action is to radically transform the extent and depth of scientific knowledge about energy poverty in Europe. It will generate a step change in how energy poverty is theorised, detected and addressed. It is aimed at developing and strengthening an international community of researchers and practitioners focused on combating energy poverty – a condition typically manifested by the inability to secure adequate levels of domestic energy services (such as heating, lighting, cooling, appliances).

Promoting knowledge exchange and dissemination is a central component of CA16232 activities. The Action is regularly present at all large research and policy events in the energy, sustainability and housing domains. This includes EU Sustainable Energy Week, the Degrowth conference, the Urban Transitions
Conference, and the Royal Geographical Society Annual Conference. ENGAGER also has an active social media presence, via Twitter (https://twitter.com/EngagerCOST) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ energypovertyaction/). The Action has contributed to major improvements in the technical and scientific skills of its members. This has included improved knowledge of the drivers and consequences of energy poverty, policies to address the problem, its connections to related sectors, and its relevance to current debates around energy transitions, justice, low carbon and climate policy, housing, health and transport. Issued 10 Academic papers stemming from Action activities.
