Next 9 June, a discussion about the study “Lights on inequality: Is energy a form of inequality between, and within, Latin America and Europe?” will take place. It is organised by the EU-LAC Foundation and the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO).
This study sheds light on how energetic inequalities reflect structural gaps in our societies. The goal is to offer tools for a more fair and effective green transition. In order to do so, an intersectional, territorial and multidimensional approach will be taken around the topics of energy, equity and social rights.
During the discussion, the research team will present the results, after which representatives of guest institutions and organisations, as well as the general audience, will have the chance to offer their reflections and comments around the topic of energetic inequalities.
