The article emphasises the importance of the problem of discrimination against older people in the context of energy transition. The authors propose an intersectoral perspective that creates bridges between the research sphere, including energy research and ageing studies, and practices in public health, energy policy, social policy and the challenges of climate change. The concept that connects all these threads is ‘energy ageism,’ understood as all socially conditioned mechanisms related to energy policy that disable and discriminate against older people, reducing their quality of life through limited access (economically, technologically, spatially, informationally and culturally) to different energy sources, new energy technologies and the benefits of full access to energy circulation.

文章强调了能源转型背景下歧视老年人问题的重要性。作者提出了跨部门视角，在研究领域（包括能源研究和老龄化研究）与公共卫生、能源政策、社会政策和气候变化挑战的实践之间架起了一座桥梁。连接所有这些线程的概念是“能源年龄歧视”，被理解为与能源政策相关的所有社会条件机制，这些机制使老年人残疾和歧视老年人，通过有限的访问（经济、技术、空间、信息和文化）降低他们的生活质量让不同能源、新能源技术和能源循环充分获得好处。
