We are thrilled to announce the publication of our first study, titled “Marginalised Roma Communities in the Context of the Green Transition: Energy Poverty at Luník IX. and The Case for New Methodologies and Interdisciplinary Approaches.”

This groundbreaking paper delves into the intersection of green transition challenges with the lived realities of marginalised Roma communities, focusing on energy poverty in Luník IX district of Košice, Slovakia. The study critiques existing frameworks dominated by environmental and energy justice approaches, which often neglect community agency and local specificities. It introduces innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary strategies to address these pressing issues effectively.

 

Key highlights include:

 

  • An empirical situational assessment of energy poverty in Luník IX.
  • The introduction of sustainable development and livelihoods perspectives.
  • Recommendations for interdisciplinary action-research and collaborative frameworks involving technical expertise.

 

This research marks a vital step toward fostering a just and inclusive green transition, ensuring that the voices and needs of marginalised Roma communities are not only heard but placed at the forefront of sustainable development.
