Energy Access and the Right to a Dignified Life by EnAct published on 2021-07-08T22:33:35Z Much work focusing on access to energy as a basic human right aims to establish minimum levels of energy supply or find ways to bring down consumption and costs. This podcast shifts the discussion to social dimensions of energy deprivation, with in-depth exploration of the concepts of ‘energy justice’ and the ‘capabilities approach’. In much existing human rights law, the preamble specifically mentions the goal of enabling people to have ‘a dignified life.’ This topic sparked a great deal of interest at the COST ENGAGER event entitled “Co-Creating the Right to Energy from Theory to Practice.” Listen in to hear from Dr. Katrin Grossman, Jade Munroe, Irene Pijuan-Gonzalez and Dr. Neil Simcock.
