Abstract

V originále

The contribution presented results of a systematic literature review of energy poverty approaches. It sought to answer the following research questions: What are the major theoretical approaches towards the issue and how do they frame it? Is it possible to identify any categories or clusters among them? What can we learn from the dialogue among key approaches and are there any overarching themes? In doing so, eight approaches grouped into three clusters were identified: 1) assemblage and vulnerability; 2) justice and transition; and 3) lived experiences, behavior, practices and capabilities. While the contribution depicted the approaches as distinctive, it simultaneously highlighted their interconnectedness and major overarching themes.
