SUMMARY:RIGHT TO ENERGY FORUM 2022
DESCRIPTION:As one of the co-founding members of the Right to Energy Coalition\, EAPN is honoured to launch the Right to Energy Forum 2022\, together with the European Public Service Unions (EPSU) and Friends of the Earth Europe.  \nWe will present the new EAPN-EPSU briefing on the Right to Affordable\, Clean Energy for All Europeans\, during the opening session of the Right to Energy Forum 2022.  \nJoin us on January 24 (14:00 – 15:30) and stay tuned: @EAPNEurope \nDiscover the full programme! \nREGISTER HERE \nRight now\, skyrocketing energy prices are exacerbating energy poverty\, pushing millions of Europeans to choose between eating and heating. But energy poverty is not a new phenomenon. Since 2017\, the Right to Energy movement has forged a people-powered movement to challenge energy poverty across Europe. In 2021\, we came together to shape new vital EU legislation including the Fit for 55 package and the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. \nAccess to affordable clean energy is a human right\, and equal participation in a low-carbon economy must not be a privilege for a few!  \nPeople living on inadequate income and in energy-inefficient houses are paying a high price for soaring energy costs\, are often missed out on deep renovation and risk getting locked in the fossil fuel infrastructure in the next decade. The transition to climate neutrality has also an unequal impact on the workforce in terms of upskilling and reskilling\, access to green jobs and decent working conditions.  \nEAPN believes that the Forum is the right place to remind that social justice should be at the core of the energy and climate transitions. Achieving a socially inclusive decarbonisation and ensuring affordable adequate housing are a collective responsibility.  \nThis year’s programme offers 5 days of discussions and interactive sessions with activists\, politicians\, environmental NGOs\, trade unions\, EU decision makers and solidarity collectives from across Europe to discuss energy poverty and its place in the social justice and climate movement as well as solutions to eradicate it.    \nThe following themes will be discussed: \n\nEnergy poverty and climate justice\, showcasing the right to energy movement across the EU and explaining why it’s a climate justice issue.\nAddressing the root causes of Energy poverty\, showcasing renovations and renewables as a crucial solution to tackle energy poverty. \nTowards an energy system for people and planet\, showcasing the need to change the energy system\, and exposing how the neoliberal energy market exploits poor households. \nFrom words to action: Commitments across the EU\, showcasing the high-level commitments and actions taken by and in the EU. •The Next Steps for the Right to Energy movement\, how to continue strategising as a movement in the year ahead.
