This book identifies potential mitigation measures for energy poverty and the impact of climate change. In recent years, energy poverty (EP) studies have gained significant prominence in the scientific literature. Numerous research groups have focused their efforts on analyzing this socioeconomic problem, which combines technical aspects with social issues. This has allowed the field of knowledge to advance rapidly. However, this progress has not considered the gender dimension of energy poverty. Although the feminization of poverty has been discussed since the late twentieth century, the impact of this feminization on energy poverty has not been widely observed. This issue is particularly noteworthy in Spain, where the lack of research on energy poverty is compounded by the existing gender dimension. Therefore, this book addresses these challenges, focusing its analysis on the Granada Metropolitan Area. The analysis was based on an urban study of the region. It was further complemented by identifying potential mitigation measures for energy poverty and the impact of climate change. The results highlight the importance of the gender dimension in this socioeconomic problem and the significance of the city's urban characteristics in its development and solution. The conclusions of this study can be extrapolated to other regions with similar characteristics.
