Abstract
Heating is a critical issue for the
livelihoods of Eastern Europe and Central Asia's
people. The region's gold climate, the legacy of
central planning, and the drop in household incomes over the
past 10 years, influence profoundly the design of heating
strategies for the urban poor. This paper provides new
insights into how much energy people demand for heating, and
how much they pay for it. Recommendations are suggested on
how to design policies, and investment planning, that would
enable all people (poor and non-poor) to access clean,
affordable heating.
