What to expect

Day one | 2 December | Atelier29

Afternoon | Atelier29
Satellite event

Join WELLBASED for an insightful policy event that explores the critical intersection of energy poverty and public health. You can already register for this event directly on the WELLBASED website.

Day two | 3 Dec | Atelier29
Morning + lunch

The Forum will zoom in on the opportunities of shaping the EU’s strategy on eradicating energy poverty. Expect policy insights, political discussions and talks with decision makers about topics including energy and housing.

Day three | 4 Dec | Atelier29
Morning + lunch

The last day of the Forum will focus on realising our common vision for the universal right to clean energy. Expect talking about summer energy poverty and how the EU is hindering the right to clean energy in the Global South.

Afternoon | European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)
Satellite event

Join us at the EESC for an event that centres around Friends of the Earth Europe’s Powerful Encounters photo exhibition on energy poverty. Expect to walk away inspired by a range of first-hand stories of activism, collectivism and empowerment. While the main European institutions are still defining their priorities for the new term, it’s crucial to ensure that energy poverty remains a top priority.

We hope you will join us in shaping the next steps to secure the Right to Energy. The full programme will be revealed in November. In the meantime, please register your interest and share this tweet with all of your network!
