Abstract
Considering the rapid energy transition happening in Europe, debates emerge about how to equally include everyone to ensure a just transition. Through the formulation of new regulations, such as the Green Deal and the Clean Energy for all Europeans Package, the concept of just transitions and the issue of energy poverty have become a higher policy priority within the EU. Yet, there is still a lack of recognition of the gender dimension of the issue in energy policymaking due to a general assumption that energy policies are gender neutral and affect all people equally. In this thesis, a just transition framework following the three dimensions of energy justice is developed identifying key policy elements that are intended to increase the likelihood that energy poverty policies in Europe tackle the issue of energy poverty in a more gender-aware and hence effective way. This framework is applied to analyze the current energy poverty policies of three different European countries: the UK, France, and the Netherlands. The cross-country comparison assesses the foregoing nations’ efforts to include a gender mainstreaming perspective in energy policymaking. In addition, a policy case study is analyzed to highlight good policy practice for tackling energy poverty in a gender-aware way.
