Engendering an inclusive low-carbon energy transition in Japan: Considering the perspectives and awareness of the energy poor

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the contextual factors of energy poverty in Japan, through the perspective of vulnerability to energy poverty vulnerabilities, including affordability and accessibility to different forms of energy, as well as the effects of new technologies on the risk of experiencing energy poverty.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the regional characteristics of energy or fuel poverty in Japan through a new approach, i.e., evaluating energy poverty via the direct measurement of energy service usage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the energy conservation measures of older adults in Japan, one of the fastest-aging countries in the world, to determine a balance between aging, and low-carbon societies.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature review is conducted to examine energy efficiency interventions in advanced economies focusing on the household and determine the level of evidence regarding their effectiveness, finding mixed evidence to support specific types of interventions; however, when multiple techniques and activities were used, the intervention's success was more likely.

TL;DR: This paper proposed a new methodology for multidimensional poverty measurement consisting of an identification method ρk that extends the traditional intersection and union approaches, and a class of poverty measures Mα.

TL;DR: Energy justice has emerged as a new crosscutting social science research agenda which seeks to apply justice principles to energy policy, energy production and systems, energy consumption, energy activism, energy security and climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors bring out key features of different approaches and set them in a common framework, and show how the approach of counting deprivations relates to approaches based on social welfare.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated conceptual framework for the research and amelioration of energy deprivation in the home is proposed, based on the premise that all forms of energy and fuel poverty are underpinned by a common condition: the inability to attain a socially and materially necessitated level of domestic energy services.
