This book highlights innovative solutions that not only combat climate change but also address energy poverty, ensuring a more sustainable and equitable future. It explores common roots, synergies, and trade-offs between energy poverty and climate change. It argues that policies to combat climate change like decarbonization, can negatively impact energy poverty alleviation, whereas policies to reduce energy poverty like increasing energy access, reduction in energy prices, or rise in energy demand, may increase energy-related carbon emission that contributes to climate change.
This book meticulously delves into the challenges of providing clean, reliable, and modern energy access to millions of energy-poor people, without creating any negative impact on the environment. It not only provides a comprehensive review of the intricacies of energy poverty and climate change mitigation but also gives a clear understanding of the policy challenges encountered to address the dual problem. Moreover, given the sustainable development goals of attaining SDG7 by 2030 and SDG13 by 2050, the content is timely and significant. Apart from students, this book will be beneficial to academics, working as development economists or energy economists, government policymakers, media personnel covering the climate crisis, and social activists.
