Living with Energy Poverty: Perspectives from the Global North and South expands our collective understanding of energy poverty and deepens our recognition of the phenomenon by engaging with the lived experiences of energy-poor households across different contexts.
Understanding the lived experience of energy poverty is an essential component in the design of any effort to alleviate what is fundamentally a deep-rooted, multi-faceted, wickedly complex problem. This requires a nuanced understanding of the causal factors and the research methods that can respond to the flexible spatial and temporal nature of the condition, as well as its wellbeing and justice implications. Drawing together the expertise and connectedness of authors from the Global South and North, this book presents novel approaches to understanding the often hidden forms of domestic energy deprivation. Case studies from 20 countries provide critical perspectives on this phenomenon while analysing the policy practices, government strategy, and sustainability implications of divergent manifestations. The book takes a multidimensional perspective, challenging the bias towards energy production and service provision, which often do not align with the aspirations and realities of energy households across global contexts, thus facilitating a useful dialogue on the nature of energy poverty.
The book is a timely source for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars seeking fresh, diverse insights into the everyday reality of energy poverty and wanting to better understand the challenges a people-centred, just energy transition can present.

Es gibt eine neue Studie zum Kleingartenwesen in Deutschland, die eine bundesweite Bestandsaufnahme zur aktuellen Situation darstellt. Das Institut für Stadtplanung und Sozialforschung Weeber + Partner hat die Studie im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung (BMVBS) erarbeitet. Die Untersuchung bestätigt, dass das Kleingartenwesen innerhalb der heutigen gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen immer noch einen besonderen Stellenwert einnimmt. Sowohl in den alten als auch in den neuen Bundesländern gehören Kleingärten zu den Charakteristika der Gemeinden und Städte, denn Kleingärten sind ein wichtiges Element zur Durchgrünung und Auflockerung der Bebauung. Indem Kleingärten für mehr Grün in den Städten sorgen, verbessern sie zugleich die ökologische Bilanz. Bis zu 100 000 Ehrenamtliche sind in Deutschland für das Kleingartenwesen tätig.

In this paper a critique is developed to the theories that found their conception of the self of the Homeric man in the psychosomatic entity. Then it is develops the understanding that the singular man had of its own self in relation to the limits of its existence determined as Moira and to the politic-heroic moral that arises on these limits. ; En este escrito se desarrolla una crítica a las teorías que fundan su concepción del sí mismo del hombre homérico en la entidad psicosomática. Luego se elabora la comprensión que este hombre singular tuvo de su mismidad en relación a los límites de su existencia determinados como Moira y a la moral político-heroica que surge sobre estos límites.

[First paragraph of Introduction]: The neo-liberal assault on the Keynesian welfare state and the demand that government be 'reinvented' has come to focus increased attention upon the so-called `third sector'. This has occurred because of the moves by neo-liberal governments to downloading former public responsibilities onto the market, nonprofit organizations and individuals; their desire to forge new partnership relationships with non-state actors like voluntary bodies in order to develop alternative service delivery options; and the neo-liberal assertion that intrusive government has worked to undermine voluntary citizen participation, charitable giving, and self-help.
