Theresa Griffin is a Senior Associate at E3G. Theresa’s work supports the Clean Economy team to engage stakeholders with an interest in the social dimensions of the EU’s Green Deal – just transition, energy poverty, citizens’ and workers’ rights and consumer protection – whose participation in the Green Deal’s development and delivery are crucial to its overall success.

Theresa is a UK and EU legislator and climate neutral advocate placing citizens as full participants at the heart of all policy-making.
Theresa’s ‘New Deal for Energy Consumers’ called for EU Energy Policy to have a social dimension to protect consumers. In legislation, ‘Towards a European Energy Union’ and ‘Governance of the Energy Union’ she achieved higher ambition for renewables and energy efficiency and enshrined fighting energy poverty for the first time into EU law. A lead legislator in the ‘Clean Energy for All EU Citizens Package’ she called for higher ambition in the ‘European Green Deal’ and for a ‘Just Transition’ that leaves no worker, community or young person behind.
Theresa authored the EU’s Energy Poverty Manifesto which led to the establishment of the first EU-wide Energy Poverty Observatory. Her legislative files, ‘Security of Gas Supply’ and ‘Gas Storage and Transportation’ successfully fostered regional co-operation throughout Europe at times of threat to the security of energy supply.
She worked as a legislator on the ‘Energy Performance of Buildings Directive’ and secured fire safety within its remit following the disaster of Grenfell in the UK. She is a champion of an inclusive Renovation Wave.
Her work in Transport and ‘The Mobility Package’ centred upon decarbonisation, electrification, affordable public mobility, accessibility, health outcomes and fair treatment of precarious workers.
