FUEL POVERTY RESEARCH DATABASE: OVERVIEW

A study in July 2005 between NEA, and the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) at the University of Oxford published findings from a scoping study, which examined current provision for optimising the focus and influence of fuel poverty research. 

Key findings from this study revealed widespread support for sharing of information, improved dissemination of research findings and for a process that could avoid duplication of research activity.  It also identified the need for a mechanism to incorporate research findings into policy and decision-making processes.

NEA is aiming to fill that gap and has designed a Fuel Poverty Research Database.  The key objectives of this database are:

• Bring together research relevant to fuel poverty and related areas
• Increase the audience for this research
• Enable a periodic synthesis of current findings and research issues for Government and fuel poverty agencies, to help inform policy and practice in the field
• Help develop the network of researchers in the area of fuel poverty
