Fuel poverty is a major problem across London. Action and policy change is needed on a large scale, to cut energy waste in this city, to improve health, increase employment opportunities and save lives and to create warm homes for all Londoners. This event will seek to bring together organisations that work to tackle fuel poverty with social housing landlords, local authorities, public health agencies, community and residents associations, environmental organisations, energy companies, academics and government bodies to identify new integrated approaches to health, energy social justice and climate change.

There will be a range of practical workshops on: local community & housing association energy and efficiency schemes; lobbying & campaigning, working with local authorities and trusts and others. Confirmed workshop presenters are from Repowering London, Energise Barnet and Living under One Sun.

The event will be chaired by Chris Church from Community Environment Associates

This event has been organised by the London Voluntary Sector Council’s Climate Change Leaders for a Low Carbon London project
