The Study is organized in four dimensions: institutional capacity (structural), environmental degradation (functional), environmental crime (functional), and intergenerational strategy (structural). We understand “environmental impunity” as: i) the impossibility of investigating, prosecuting, punishing and repairing crimes and damages against the environment, whether this is a consequence of both the lack of institutional capacities and the political will of the authorities; ii) the absence of application or fulfillment of environmental and climate policy objectives, due to the lack of institutional capacities or political will, as they affect the possibility of effectively protecting the environment and guaranteeing full enjoyment of the human right to an environment. healthy environment, and; iii) the lack of long-term or intergenerational public policy strategies and programs that reduce the risk of suffering harm or enjoying access to natural resources that the most vulnerable populations, future generations, and even other species and other species may suffer. This model represents an approach environmental problems that draws on contemporary environmental perspectives such as environmental justice, green criminology and the recognition of the right to a healthy environment. In this sense, environmental impunity implies both the existence of environmental crimes and crimes, activities that cause damage and risks to ecosystems and human communities, as well as the non-existence or insufficiency of institutional capacities and resources to protect the environment and guarantee respect for the law. to a healthy environment. In order to avoid that some dimensions have more weight in the results because they contain a greater number of variables, each dimension has an identical weight of 25% in the total estimate of the index. In this way, the maximum possible value of the index is 4, which would correspond to 100%, and each dimension obtains a value equivalent to 1.","PeriodicalId":340002,"journal":{"name":"EnergyRN: Energy Access (Topic)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116917537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study reveals that the provisions of the law aimed at protecting the rights and interest of electricity consumer in Nigeria are quite adequate but consumers continue to suffer deprivations of their rights owing to inadequate enforcement of the law as well as lack of awareness and apathy on the part of the consumers themselves.

It is observed that in most of the states, the learning achievement of the children at elementary level is deteriorating but not rapidly. It has also come out that higher literacy among parents;availability of some school related factors like Mid-day Meal, proper drinking water,sanitation and playground facilitycan play a positive role to improve the learning achievement of the rural Indian children at elementary level","PeriodicalId":340002,"journal":{"name":"EnergyRN: Energy Access (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114911309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deller","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2850876","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2850876","url":null,"abstract":"This paper provides a pan-EU mapping of energy affordability using energy expenditure shares. Large variations in energy expenditure shares are identified, with the shares being significantly higher in New Member States than the EU15. First, these variations indicate that a single expenditure-based pan-EU fuel poverty metric is problematic; there is a trade-off between a metric identifying households in most need within individual Member States and one identifying households in a similar position across Member States. Second, household-level data from the UK, France and the Republic of Ireland are used to simulate the impact of ‘policy interventions’, involving energy expenditure reductions or income increases, on the recorded rate of fuel poverty. These simulations highlight that emphasising high-level fuel poverty metrics may distort policymakers’ choices towards improving the ‘picture’ of fuel poverty rather than maximising welfare improvements. Robust impact assessments identifying the fuel poverty interventions which deliver the greatest welfare increases for a given cost offer a better means of policy evaluation.","PeriodicalId":340002,"journal":{"name":"EnergyRN: Energy Access (Topic)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131897718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Access to modern energy requires improved technologies and financing instruments and sources. The pro-poor public–private partnership model is one useful vehicle for raising capital to finance projects. Five factors appear to be necessary in combination for programs and partnerships to successfully promote energy access and eradicate energy poverty: selecting appropriate technology, promoting community participation, emphasizing maintenance and service, coupling service with incomes, and building local capacity.","PeriodicalId":340002,"journal":{"name":"EnergyRN: Energy Access (Topic)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117304297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
