Energy for Sustainable Development: The Energy-Poverty-Climate Nexus

Melanie L Sattler

A chapter in Greenhouse Gases from IntechOpen

Abstract: Worldwide, 1.4 billion people lack access to electricity, and 2.7 billion people rely on traditional biomass for cooking. Most people living in energy poverty--without electricity access and/or using traditional biomass for cooking--are from rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, India, and other developing Asian countries (excluding China). At the same time, the poorest people are the most likely to suffer from the impacts of climate change.
