Using the GEA: Energy access
The GEA shows that it is possible and economically viable to enable the delivery of clean, sustainable energy to the 1.4 billion people currently living without electricity and the 3 billion without access to modern cooking fuels or devices. This could be achieved without additional increases in greenhouse gas emissions.
