To ensure access to affordable, secure, sustainable and modern energy.
- 13% of the world’s population still does not have access to modern electricity services.

- Indoor air pollution from the use of fuels for household energy caused 4.3 million deaths in 2012, 6 out of 10 of these were women and girls.
Access to energy is very important during the COVID-19 emergency: energy solutions must be prioritised to provide power to health facilities and first responders, and keep vulnerable consumers connected.
- Turn off the lights in empty rooms. By switching off the lights, even for a few seconds, you save more energy than it takes to switch on the light, regardless of the type of bulb.
