La précarité énergétique expose les ménages à de multiples facteurs de stress et a des répercussions importantes sur la santé, le bien-être et l’inclusion sociale. Les ménages à faibles revenus, les locataires, les personnes vivant dans des logements de mauvaise qualité, les femmes, les jeunes adultes, les personnes âgées, les personnes issues de la diversité et les populations autochtones sont plus susceptibles d’être confrontés à la précarité énergétique et à ses conséquences. Alors qu’elle est d’autant plus importante à considérer pour favoriser une transition juste et la résilience climatique dans le secteur résidentiel, la précarité énergétique demeure un phénomène méconnu au Canada et est largement absente des politiques et programmes énergétiques, sociaux et d’adaptation aux changements […]
