The energy access situation in Developing Countries [1]

This UNDP-WHO joint report draws attention to the global energy access situation and highlights that three billion people still rely on traditional biomass and coal, with a striking two million deaths per year associated with indoor burning of these solid fuels in unventilated kitchens.

Almost two billion people need modern energy services by 2015 to accelerate MDGs achievement.
