Sustainable energy for one billion people by 2030
Today 800 million people lack access to electricity, including half the population of sub-Saharan Africa. Another 2.8 billion people lack access to electricity that is reliable enough to secure their livelihoods or power modern healthcare facilities and schools. The pandemic has only exacerbated the inequality of global energy access.
To tackle this challenge, the Rockefeller Foundation and the EIB have announced a global coalition aimed at providing sustainable energy for one billion people within this decade. Organisations joining this call to action also include the African Development Bank, the UK's development finance institution (CDC), the International Energy Agency, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
