Métricas de Pobreza Energética: uma análise interpretativa orientada às variáveis presentes em estudos sobre países europeus e latinoamericanos

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review on energy poverty, focusing on the metrics used in studies conducted in Europe and Latin America. Energy poverty is a complex phenomenon that manifests in various forms, affecting access to adequate energy services and impacting the economic and social development of affected communities. The research was conducted in three stages: identifying relevant works, categorizing them by region, and describing the metrics employed. The results reveal a greater sophistication in the metrics used in European studies, in contrast to the more limited approaches observed in Latin America. The analysis highlights the urgent need to integrate multiple social dimensions and consider justice principles in the formulation of energy policies, especially in the context of climate change, which disproportionately affects vulnerable populations.
