Report: Without urgent action, global population lacking energy access might remain same by 2030
Aby Sustainable Energy for All says the world risks leaving a large number of people without energy beyond 2030 if urgent action is not taken.
With the title ‘SDG7 Backsliding’, the report emphasised that the world’s current pattern of “two steps forward, one step backward” could scuttle its attainment of this goal while breaching the Paris-aligned pathways. “To achieve universal access, we need to provide electricity access annually to a population the size of the UK and Germany combined, for eight years, which already takes us beyond 2030.
“To achieve universal clean cooking, a population the size of the United States needs to have access to clean cooking annually until 2030.”Also, on renewable energy, the report re-echoed recent concerns that the progress has been “skewed and uneven” with developed and wealthier countries making greater progress than developing and lower income countries.
