Electrification alone won’t end energy poverty — 700 million people still lack electricity, a third rely on wood and charcoal for cooking, and with only 1% of global energy finance supporting clean cooking, urgent investment is needed to drive scalable solutions, improve health, and foster sustainable growth.
