Sustainable Energy to Secure Sustainable FutureNew DelhiJuly, 2015

• Energy is the golden thread that connects economic growth, increased social equity and an environment that

allows the world to thrive.”

-- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon• “Ending poverty and ensuring

sustainability are the defining challenges of our time. Energy is central to both.”

-- Jim Yong Kim - World Bank Group President

WHY ENERGY?

The Great Energy Challenge: a moral and existential dilemma

3

Three energy challenges of our generation:

First, ending energy poverty. To ensure universal access to

electricity and modern energy sources for cooking and heating.

Second, we need to strengthen economic growth in a way that‘s

equitable and satisfies growing energy demand.

Third, we need to slow the warming of our planet by reducing global

emissions.

In essence, we need to turn on the lights while turning down the

global thermostat.
