Since the negative effects of rising temperatures on people’s health have been noted at the administrative and political level, the implication of climate change on people´s health has become more relevant. Thus, subjects such as summer energy poverty are now part of the focus of action. This work has been developed within the framework of COOLTORISE Horizon 2020 project, focused on raising summer energy poverty awareness to reduce cooling needs and carried out in the Southern Europe. Regarding Italian, Bulgarian, Spaniard and Greek contexts, specific policy and good practices focused on tackling summer energy poverty were analysed in order to define a state of art for policy makers. To this aim, different documents, regional policies, good practices and local agendas from these countries were collected and analysed. Three categories were stablished to facilitate a diagnostic process.
