"Mr President, among developing countries, energy poverty represents a serious issue. Nearly 1.3 billion people worldwide regularly go without electricity in their everyday lives. I believe that so far, this issue has not been given sufficient weight among development priorities. Access to modern energy services is an essential requirement of eradicating poverty, yet there are few developing countries that can demonstrate any progress in improving access to energy. Households usually spend large proportions of their income on low-quality lighting and heating materials. The reason for this is that those without access to fuel and electricity do not receive subsidies. Today, there is already a range of technologies available that could give poor communities access to clean and efficient energy. Technologies that make use of local energy sources in addition to fossil fuels could also offer a solution. The creation of a global financial fund that would allow us to support investments aimed at mitigating poverty should be facilitated. We must do everything in our power, both at a political level and in terms of financial support, to ensure universal access to energy by 2030."@en1
