The theme of the 2024 ICSD is “Solutions for the Future”. The aim of the conference is to bring together persons involved in research, policy, practice, and business, in advance of the 2024 United Nations Summit of the Future. Participants will share practical solutions for achieving the SDGs at local and national levels. This year ICSD will accept abstracts within 7 themes, several of which have different “tracks” within them. Abstracts should be directly relevant to one of the themes and subsequent tracks (detailed descriptions on the following pages).

Together with Teresa Cuerdo Vilches, I will be chairing a session on the 3C "Interlinkages and challenges of energy poverty mitigation and energy transitions (3C)"

The rise of #energypoverty poses a pressing social concern, jeopardizing the well-being of numerous individuals across the global north-south spectrum. This complex issue transcends individual households, intertwining with economic, technological, and social systems, each with unique geographical considerations. Navigating the intersection of sustainable energy transitions, energy equity concerns, and energy poverty presents a novel challenge. Our objective in this session is to highlight existing obstacles, diagnostic initiatives, and pioneering projects that offer solutions to address this multifaceted problem on various fronts.

Interested presenters should submit an abstract of at least 300 words but not exceeding 500 words, in English, by 1 May 2024, via the form below. Each abstract may only be submitted once and under one track.
