Palestine''s energy transformation
Many people in Palestine live with extreme energy scarcity. Local communities have no sovereignty over their energy supply, due to Israeli occupation since 1967. The Israeli control of energy is a key driver of environmental injustice, or ''nakba''in Arabic, in addition to toxic waste-dumping, expropriation of water sources and destruction of Palestinian lands under the

The role of renewable energy resources in alleviating energy poverty
The availability of clean energy resources to households can go a long way in the mitigation of climate change. Table 1 shows the percentage distribution of households that are heating by region and the primary fuel used for heating in 2015. As seen from Table 1, the wood consumption for heating purposes is lower in the middle of the West Bank compared to other
