Abstract:
... While the terms “energy poverty” and “fuel poverty” are developing rapidly, their relationship, evolution and trends remain unclear. Efforts to apply the concepts are constrained by the lack of a comprehensive review and the conceptual clarity of the energy–fuel poverty relationship. The article therefore aims to address this gap by synthesising the similarities and differences both within/between ...

Abstract:
... Although the term ‘alimentation’ has existed in the English language since the late 16th century, its use is infrequent.

The implications of the advantages and disadvantages of rural versus urban living on the subjective well-being (SWB) of children are diverse and, in many cases, also inconclusive, with slight evidence in support of higher SWB for children living in rural areas. One of the obstacles to comparing implications of living area on SWB has been the overly general definition of rural and urban areas. The ...

Abstract:
... We explore the bidirectional relationship between population growth and climate change: while population determines carbon emissions which drive climate change, climate change impacts the mortality rate and so population growth. Such population-climate feedback effects suggest that demographic policy may represent an alternative to traditional mitigation policies. We explore this possibility by in ...
