Abstract
This paper addresses the underutilization of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) evidence in energy efficiency policymaking. A Horizon Scanning exercise involving 152 researchers generated 100 priority SSH research questions, clustered into seven themes: (1) Citizenship, engagement, and knowledge exchange; (2) Equity, justice, poverty, and vulnerability; (3) Everyday life and energy practices; (4) Framing, defining, and measuring energy efficiency; (5) Governance and political issues; (6) Economic systems, supply chains, and finance; and (7) Interactions and unintended consequences of interventions. The agenda aims to mobilize SSH approaches to contribute to and understand energy efficiency measures and governance.
