THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RENEWABLE ENERGIES AND THE ENERGY POVERTY OF POPULATIONS

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

This study proposes an analysis of the relationship between renewable energies and energy poverty in populations through a systematic review supported by the meta-analytical approach of academic literature. The study highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between energy poverty and renewable energies in both global and national contexts, outlining that collaborative research and effective policies to address energy and environmental challenges are crucial in the current scenario. Using an exploratory approach and emphasizing quanlitative analysis, with the partial application of the Consolidated Meta-Analytical Approach Theory (TEMAC), 484 studies were identified and approximately 40 studies were analyzed, revealing specific trends and patterns in research on the influence of renewable energies and energy poverty. The results highlight relevant characteristics such as the temporal evolution of scientific production, the interest of various relevant academic institutions, and the geographical distribution of authors. Finally, this study not only contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between renewable energies and energy poverty but also underscores the importance of a collaborative approach in seeking sustainable solutions to global energy and environmental problems.
