Fairness implications for vulnerable households of energy demand reduction policies in France and the UK, an intersectional approach

该项目旨在对英国和法国最近和计划中的能源需求减少政策对分配正义的影响采取交叉方法，目的是为英国创造更公平的净零过渡提出政策建议，对法国和其他欧盟国家产生影响。这项博士研究将通过研究英国和法国来解决对减少能源需求政策的公平影响进行深入国别比较研究的必要性。因此，这个项目将回答以下问题：1.在法国和英国，通过碳税和能源税等减少能源需求的政策，以及针对家庭能源效率和交通排放的计划，如何通过跨部门的视角影响不同类型的弱势群体？2.法国和英国有哪些类型的措施来保护弱势个人免受能源需求减少政策的倒退影响/补偿他们？3.这些补偿措施在造福弱势群体方面有多有效，从交叉的角度来看，它们如何影响不同类型的弱势群体？为使减少能源需求的政策更加公平，应遵循哪些政策建议？研究该项目将采用混合方法诱拐方法，包括对相关调查数据进行统计分析，同时对政策文件进行定性分析，并与政策专家以及英国和法国公众进行面谈。该项目将以出版物的形式交付，包括在同行评议的期刊上发表的三篇文章和一份政策简报。每项交付成果的详细方法如下所示。所有出版物都将依赖于下文提出的基本概念框架，利用该框架的不同方面，同时利用为每个出版物产生的主要和次要数据

This project aims to take an intersectional approach towards distributional justice implications of recent and planned energy demand reduction policies in the UK and France, with the aim to generate policy recommendations for creating a fairer net zero transition in the UK, with implications for France and other EU countries. This PhD study will address the need for in-depth country-comparative research on fairness implications of energy demand reduction policies by examining the UK and France. As such, this project will answer the following questions: 1. How do energy demand reduction policies, e.g., through carbon and energy taxes, and schemes that target home energy efficiency and transport emissions, affect different types of disadvantaged people, through an intersectional lens, in France and the UK? 2. What types of measures exist in France and the UK to protect disadvantaged individuals from / compensate them for regressive impacts of energy demand reduction policies? 3. How effective are these compensation measures in benefiting disadvantaged people and how do they impact different types of disadvantaged people from an intersectionality perspective? Which policy recommendations follow for making energy demand reduction policies fairer? Research This project will apply a mixed-method abductive approach consisting of statistical analysis of relevant survey data accompanied by qualitative analysis of policy documents and interviews with policy experts as well as members of the UK and French public. This project will be delivered by publication, consisting of three articles in peer-reviewed journals, and a policy brief. Detailed methods for each deliverable are presented below. All the publications will rely on a fundamental conceptual framework presented hereafter, exploiting different aspects of the framework, whilst utilising primary and secondary data generated for each publication
