Energy access: the key to equitable energy transition and economic opportunity for all

Energy is directly linked to economic development. Greater energy access, affordability and reliability result in higher levels of GDP. Ultimately, there is no path to economic development without greater energy access and consumption. To ensure a just and equitable energy transition, governments, the private sector and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) must collaborate to create enabling, reliable infrastructure, inclusive market dynamics and practical, diversified energy supply for all. In the case of access to clean energy—which is playing a growing role in the global energy system—opportunities are opened to address socio-economic inequalities including jobs creation, access to education, improved health outcomes and more.

Attendee insights:

This Action Session will examine the role of governments, the private sector and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in creating the right solutions for a diversified energy supply for all, prioritising universal access to clean energy and empowering communities to participate in energy decision making processes.
