Sustainable Energy to Secure Sustainable Future New Delhi July, 2015
WHY ENERGY? • Energy is the golden thread that connects economic growth, increased social equity and an environment that allows the world to thrive.” -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon • “Ending poverty and ensuring sustainability are the defining challenges of our time. Energy is central to both.” -- Jim Yong Kim - World Bank Group President
The Great Energy Challenge: a moral and existential dilemma Three energy challenges of our generation: • First, ending energy poverty. To ensure universal access to electricity and modern energy sources for cooking and heating. • Second, we need to strengthen economic growth in a way that‘s equitable and satisfies growing energy demand. • Third, we need to slow the warming of our planet by reducing global emissions. In essence, we need to turn on the lightswhile turning down the global thermostat.
Sustainable Energy for All initiative • Three Objectives: One Goal: Ensuring Sustainable Energy for All by 2030
SE4ALL: A Coherent Solution and Nexus Enabler The Goal Sustainable Energy For All The Solution (3 Objectives) Universal Access DoubleRenewables Double Energy Efficiency The Nexus (4 Targets) Women Health Water Food
Annual Investments to reach SE4All goal by 2030 Annual Investments: US$1 trillion • Access: USD 50 Billion (2012: US$9 bn) • Renewables: USD 442 to 650 Billion (2012: US$258 bn) • Energy Efficiency: USD 560 Billion (2012: US$130 bn) 6
