dc.description.abstract | For the worldwide goal of preventing climate change while sustaining
economic growth and permitting living standards to rise, meeting present and
future energy demands sustainably is a crucial challenge. For health care,
education, and economic development, it is crucial to have access to
affordable, reliable energy, especially electricity. 790 million people in
developing nations will not have access to electricity by 2020, and about 2.6
billion will cook with harmful fuels. Most of the United Nations 2030
Sustainable Development Goals, which address topics like gender equality
and climate action, may be achieved by increasing energy availability in the
least developed nations and making energy cleaner. By 2030, all people must
have access to "cheap, dependable, sustainable and contemporary energy for
all," including access to electricity and facilities for clean cooking. | en_US |
