 This paper investigates how changes in policy can affect energy poverty levels in both developed and developing countries. It looks at the difference between accessibility issues related to energy poverty, EP, and affordability issues related to fuel poverty, FP, as well as the disparities between urban and rural areas. The paper also discusses the impact of inflation on energy prices and how this has affected the implementation of renewable energy sources and government regulations. Finally, it concludes that the adoption of renewable energy sources, government regulations, and international support through the Green Deals and Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, are all necessary to reduce energy poverty.
