Universal energy access and sustainable development

Universal energy access and sustainable development

Dr Pachauri gives an answer to the following questions:
– Is there a tradeoff between energy poverty reduction and climate change mitigation?
– If technology is there, the main barrier for achieving universal energy access is financing. How would you suggest to tackle this financing gap?
– Should Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) be combined to address the issue of energy poverty?
