ICCG International Lecture on Energy Poverty given by Shonali Pachauri
Less than a minute read
Shonali Pachauri, from IIASA, one of the most recognised scholars on the topic, will start her lecture by defining “modern energy access”. There is still limited analysis and understanding on how reaching a universal modern energy access goal may impact the achievement of other sustainable development goals (SDGs) related to improved health, air quality, energy security and efficiency. This lecture will focus on some of these definitional issues, and on exploring synergies and tradeoffs between a universal access goal and other sustainable development objectives and goals.
