Global tracking framework

Global tracking framework

India has electrified an annual average of 24 million people & provided 20 million a year with access to modern cooking since 1990 according to this IEA-led report that outlines challenges ahead as countries try to meet objectives of SE4ALL initiative.

A new report published as part of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative finds that a population four times the size of the United States still lives without access to electricity, holding back global economic development, and that, despite efforts to limit climate change, fossil fuels still account for more than 80% of the world’s energy mix. The Global Tracking Framework, a multi-agency effort led by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the World Bank, calculates the starting point against which the SE4ALL initiative can benchmark progress towards its three objectives of achieving universal access to modern energy services, doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix (all by 2030).
