Access to safe, affordable and clean energy is vital for human health and well-being. Yet to date, approximately 9% of the global population lacks access to electricity, and 11% of Europeans cannot adequately heat their homes. Energy poverty is often defined as the inability to afford adequate energy to meet household needs. Living in energy poverty conditions can negatively impact human health and well-being. Studies have associated extreme indoor temperatures and damp and mouldy dwellings with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and poor mental health outcomes. Besides strategies to tackle energy poverty, the future health workforce needs to be prepared to address the health implications of climate change.The overall aim of the research presented in this thesis was to examine the interplay between energy poverty, health and well-being through a socio-ecological lens, and to develop interventions and educational strategies aimed at mitigating its impacts.<br/
