João Pedro Gouveia will attend the “Right to Energy, Right to Health: Policy and research insights from the WELLBASED project” as part of the Advisory Board.

20 February 2025, 8:30-17:00

Venue: La Mutant, Joan Verdeguer, 22, 46024 València and online.

This event will have two major focal points:

Data bridging local practice and research

After 4 years of research in six pilots we are proud to share data from the quantitative and qualitative work witnessing the effects of the WELLBASED interventions on people in energy poverty. We will explore what were common experiences and what were differences across the nations. Echoing findings with experts and other participants in the room will provide additional insights into the reality of researchers and practitioners working with people in fragile or complicated situations.

Advocating for the right to health
Energy poverty is a public health challenge that requires a health-in-all-policies approach with local evidence-based urban programs. And still, there are gaps that need to be closed. The WELLBASED team will therefore share the policy recommendations based on project’s results, challenges and progress. We will also look back at the alliances that were built over the past years to collectively raise awareness on energy poverty, health and wellbeing.
