Abstract
Reducing energy poverty and tackling climate change are among the major challenges of our time. Addressing these issues jointly offers the opportunity to expand access to energy services while shifting consumption from traditional dirty fuels towards more efficient and clean energies, with substantial benefits for the economic development, sustainability and quality of life in developing countries as well as in developed nations. In recent times, international initiatives, national policies and innovative local practices are emerging to tackle the different aspects of this dual challenge.
