尽管特定的历史、地理、社会人口和基础设施条件加在一起可能造成非常高的能源脆弱性，但拉丁美洲和加勒比地区在能源贫困方面存在着重大和持久的知识差距。汇集了一个多学科和多国团队，我们专注于为5个不同的案例研究-阿根廷，巴西，哥伦比亚，古巴和墨西哥-以及更广泛的地区建立最先进的知识和政策。我们的文章有三个具体目标：建立一系列用于研究整个地区能源贫困的方法;审查国家和超国家政策义务;并为新的研究和政策议程奠定框架。综合起来，我们广泛的学术和灰色文献审查，以及伴随的科学计量学，法律的和统计分析，证实能源贫困是一个相对新生的主题，自1991年以来只有62篇关于该地区的科学文章发表。从这一知识体系中，我们确定了不同指标所确定的能源贫困地理区域的主要差异，基于能源服务的方法通常表明农村地区的脆弱性较高，而能源支出指标则指向城市地区的风险较高。我们还发现，倾向于使用现有（通常是有限的）形式的调查数据的定量方法占主导地位，以及相对缺乏详细的定性研究。因此，我们认为迫切需要在拉丁美洲和加勒比地区开展变革性研究和政策活动，以支持所有人获得清洁，可靠和负担得起的能源服务。
Despite specific historical, geographical, sociodemographic, and infrastructural conditions that in combination could produce very high levels of energy vulnerability, there are significant and enduring knowledge gaps concerning energy poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean. Bringing together a multi-disciplinary and multi-national team, we focus on establishing the state-of-the-art in knowledge and policy for 5 diverse case studies - Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico - as well as for the wider region. Our article has three specific aims: to establish the range of approaches used to research energy poverty across the region; to examine national and supranational policy obligations; and to lay the framework for new research and policy agendas. In combination, our extensive academic and grey literature reviews, and accompanying scientometric, legal and statistical analyses, confirm that energy poverty is a relatively nascent topic, with only 62 scientific articles on the region published since 1991. From this body of knowledge, we identify key differences in the geographies of energy poverty identified by different metrics, with energy services-based approaches generally indicating higher vulnerability within rural areas, while energy expenditure metrics point towards higher risk in urban areas. We also find a dominance of quantitative approaches that tend to use existing (and often limited) forms of survey data, and a relative absence of detailed qualitative research. As such, we argue there is an urgent need for transformative research and policy activities within Latin America and the Caribbean, in order to support access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy services for all.
