Hear hear: the second Europe Climate Connection episode is finally out! This month we discuss the energy crisis and, in particular, how we can keep our homes warm with real and renewable solutions in a socially fair way. For the occasion, Clare O’Connor from Friends of the Earth Ireland joins CAN Europe’s co-hosts Rachel Brabbins and Olivia Saxer.Clare from Friends of the Earth Ireland talks with us about the current cost of living crisis (and those salty energy bills we are all receiving), about what is the current process for improving household energy efficiency in Ireland and about what role communities play in the energy transition process. How can this be done in a socially progressive way? Clare also shares some lessons learned with us and talks about Ireland’s coalition tackling energy poverty in the country, which includes rural organisations and anti poverty organisations.
