| + | Access to modern and clean energy is an issue central to sustainable development as it influences environmental, social and economic aspects of development. However<span style="line-height: 1.5em">, today one in five people worldwide still live without access to electricity and every third person cooks on smoky fireplaces with negative consequences for personal health and the environment. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em">With the rapid growth of electricity demand in developing nations, the gap between electricity supply and demand has amplified. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em">This gap is forecasted to continue to grow, rendering the challenge to meet global energy demand more complex. The challenges ahead require a shift from the use of climate threatening fossil fuels to the use of more renewable resources. The significant rise in the global share of <span data-scaytid="9" data-scayt_word="renewables">renewables</span> indicates the growing significance of alternative energy sources. Developing nations have the potential to help achieve the global challenge of stabilizing green house gas concentrations by deploying renewable energy technologies. Thus there is a need for facilitating and expanding the diffusion of these technologies in these nations through practical knowledge sharing.</span> |
