00:00More than 25% of the EU population lived in homes where energy efficiency has improved in the past five years.
00:11But not everyone benefits equally.
00:19As winter approaches, heating and hot water take up most of our energy consumption.
00:26In 2023, around a quarter of EU population aged 16 or over was living in a home in which energy efficiency has improved in the last five years.
00:40However, people at risk of poverty or social exclusion were less likely to experience these improvements compared with those not at risk.
00:52Around 80% of people at risk of poverty are less likely to report living in houses with more energy efficient homes.
01:03Estonia, the Netherlands and Lithuania led the way in energy efficiency improvements for vulnerable populations.
01:13While Cyprus, Malta and Italy saw the lowest rates.
01:21As the EU works towards a greener future, addressing this energy gap remains crucial.
