POLICY BRIEF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENT A FEMINIST ENERGY AND CLIMATE POLICY FOR GREECE AND CYPRUS Less Demand, More Access and Better Governance Ioanna Angelaki, Ioanna-Mirto Chatzigeorgiou, Sandy Fameliari, Natasa Ioannou, Chris Vrettos December 2024 Greece and Cyprus have a poor environmental track record, with a lack of public participation in energy and climate policymaking. Energy communities present a unique opportunity to boost citizen participation in the energy transition, while ensuring that vulnerable groups are not excluded. Public EU funds, including the Just Transition and the Social Climate Fund, should be leveraged to support climate initiatives that integrate social justice perspectives. To achieve a feminist climate policy more research is needed that fully takes gender disaggregated data into consideration.
