Over 2 billion people worldwide use polluting fuel for cooking, 675 million lack electricity.
A report by five international organizations has revealed that 2.3 billion people globally still use polluting fuels to cook, and 675 million people have no access to electricity. The report also stated that the world is not on track to achieve the United Nations goal of ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030. The lack of progress will negatively impact the health of millions and accelerate climate change. The report calls for urgent efforts to ensure that the poorest and hardest-to-reach people are not left behind.
