3.5 Billion Live Without Adequate Energy ● Energy Poverty.mp4 2
The Crisis of Energy Poverty “Delivering universal access to electricity and safe household fuels is a fundamental condition to end poverty.” – World Bank President Jim Yong Kim Rajasthan, India youth carry fuel wood 3
Energy Poverty: The World’s Number One Human and Environmental Crisis Half the world’s population lacks proper Global Energy energy access; Energy poverty is fourth Poverty Effects leading cause of death globally killing are Devastating >4 million per year One billion people receive substandard care Energy Essential in health facilities from lack of electricity; for Health and 2.5 billion people lack improved water Longevity sanitation facilities Energy Access In developing world, half of children attend Linked to primary schools with no electricity; Lack of Economic Growth electricity stunts economic advancement Coal is abundant, reliable and low cost; Coal Key to Fuels over 30% of global energy use and is Solutions for world’s fastest growing major fuel Energy Access 4
