Jakub Sokołowski took part in the Conference organized by the Association of Municipalities Polish Network "Energie Cités" (May 19-20, 2022).
The seminar concerned energy transformation and climate protection in municipalities.
The second day of the seminar was devoted to energy poverty.
Jakub Sokołowski from the Institute for Structural Research presented the methods of measuring energy poverty at the municipal level.
He suggested that instead of conducting costly surveys in municipalities, it is better to use the data from nationwide research.
Additionally, financial support for local administration and social welfare centres would be a better solution than local surveys.
Then, Jakub Sokołowski participated in a discussion on further directions of research on energy poverty in municipalities and local solutions to this issue.
