The role of energy in accelerating development
We all agree that everybody deserves access to clean energy and that it is not fair that the majority of the population in developing countries live in darkness once the sun goes down or use polluting and dangerous sources of energy for a glimmer of light. But what is the role of sustainable energy in accelerating development and changing lives in urban and rural communities? Are we any closer to providing energy to rural communities in developing countries? What is the role played by technological innovation in poverty alleviation and fostering sustainable development in developing countries? We will hear about these topics and more from people directly involved in research, policy design and program implementation within the energy sector.
