This article examines Greek households’ energy and transport poverty vulnerability, two concepts often intertwined in policy, making use of both single composite indicators. The methodology employed aligns with the European Social Climate Fund regulation, using household income from economically active members share expenditures on fossil-based buildings transport, as well required investment costs efficiency improvements for dwellings or decarbonization measures. Through these indicators, proportion energy-vulnerable households Greece ranges 19% to 40%, while vulnerability varies between 22% 43%. Notably, analysis reveals that higher categories can still be highly vulnerable, depending size, composition dependency, which impact needs. As such, research findings reveal current legislative frameworks may not fully capture certain demographic groups event additional fossil fuels due new climate policies. Therefore, it is strongly recommended policymakers adjust criteria better target vulnerable based their unique characteristics needs, improved data collection systems monitor vulnerability.
