Fuel poverty definition: from a conceptual review to a more comprehensive definition

To sum up, this chapter suggests that it is important to reflect on how we define the problem of energy or fuel poverty, since an implicit or explicit positioning is implied by the action of defining itself. In order to advance toward a more transformative definition, it is important to be aware of the terms used, to mention the causes as driving forces and to highlight the consequences as having an impact on people’s rights.
