Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy’s Women in Energy program for a panel discussion on energy insecurity.

Defined as an inability to adequately meet basic household energy needs, this panel will outline the key dimensions of energy insecurity-economic, physical and behavioral- and related adverse environmental, health and social consequences. Implications for policy and advocacy will also be discussed.
