Would Universal Energy Access Boost Climate Change?

Review of Environment, Energy and Economics - Re3, 2013

Abstract: Energy access is one of the key dimensions of development, and has received increased attention in the policy and research domain. However, a common concern is that tackling energy poverty would come at a risk for mitigating climate change. To answer this question, we have developed a methodology which allows us mapping current and future energy consumption and emissions, when considering a hypothetical effective policy to ensure universal energy access.
