Energy poverty is a crucial and urgent priority for development.
Lack of access to affordable, reliable energy hinders all other development outcomes including economic growth, health, education, livelihoods, women’s empowerment and the job-creation effects of vibrant entrepreneurship and small enterprise development.
- 750 million people lack any access to energy
- 2.8 billion suffer from unreliable access to power and/or get by on less than the established minimum energy usage needed to emerge from energy poverty
In total nearly half the world, some 3.6 billion people, live in energy poverty.
However, continuing with business-as-usual where emissions reductions from developed and middle-income countries fall well short of stated targets, while energy-poor countries continue their current emissions growth trajectory, is projected to result in a ~3°C global temperature increase by 2050, an outcome that would be truly catastrophic.
