| Summary: | Societies require energy to function.
Basic energy services like heat and light for schools and
hospitals support and enrich individual and community life.
Yet millions of people worldwide are overlooked in energy
access agendas, particularly the 70.8 million forcibly
displaced persons. Their numbers are expected to rise as
conflict and climate change persist. Collaboration among
host nations, development agencies, and the private sector
to close financing and capacity gaps is urgently required if
countries are to attain universal energy access by 2030, as
called for in the international Sustainable Development Goals. |
