Energy access – the so-called ‘Missed Millennium Development Goal’, is considered a fundamental driver of economic and social development and is a key priority on the global development agenda. It is still however unclear which public and private initiatives and policy design can be used to best attain the goals of energy poverty eradication.

Energy access – the so-called ‘Missed Millennium Development Goal’, is considered a fundamental driver of economic and social development and is a key priority on the global development agenda. It is still however unclear which public and private initiatives and policy design can be used to best attain the goals of energy poverty eradication. For this reason and with the aim to generate new insights and concrete policy recommendations, FEEM and Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli (FGF) within the LabExpo Project, in collaboration with eni, organised on July, 10, 2014 a workshop on “Energy Poverty and Energy Access: Global Challenges and Goals”, gathering together representatives from the academia, international organizations, corporate institutions and industry.

Here below we report some interviews held on that occasion with:
