The Energy Action Project (EnAct) is a multimedia project dedicated to raising awareness of the reality that almost half of the world's population currently lives in a state of 'energy poverty'. Where access to modern energy is lacking or limited, people are unable to sustain basic well-being or to fully participate in social and economic development. * 2.7 billion people have no access to modern energy (Africa and Asia) * 600 million are constrained by unreliable supply (emerging economies) * 100 million cannot afford today’s energy prices (Europe and North America) Combining web documentaries, interactive content and expert blogs, EnAct examines the causes and personal impacts of energy poverty, then expands its reporting to highlight the technology and policy options that could change the future. Our tagline, "Reporting that seeks to empower" reflects our aim to capitalise on the power of multimedia to engage, inform and explain such that our audiences are equipped to make better decisions about energy production and use. Our pilot project, COLD@HOME (www.coldathome.today) examines the challenge of fuel poverty - i.e. people who are unable to afford sufficient energy - in Europe and North America.
