Abstract
Shifting to low or zero carbon energy is crucial to ending energy poverty, ensuring long-term energy security and avoiding dangerous climate change globally. Progress in many development areas is intrinsically linked with access to energy. Thus a comprehensive and integrated approach to energy under the post-2015 framework – rather than isolating it within an energy goal – would be the most effective.
Description
A joint policy paper by Practical Action, IIED and CAFOD, which argues how post-2015 process should move beyond access defined as basic household energy to a ‘total energy access’ approach where households, enterprises and communities have sufficient, reliable and affordable access to the full range of energy supplies and services required to eradicate poverty and support sustainable development.
