"Mr President, about 1.3 billion people worldwide – 84% of whom live in rural areas – have no access to electricity, while 2.7 billion people are without any clean cooking facilities, a situation that creates indoor smoke which is responsible for more than 1.4 million premature deaths every year.
The task of improving energy access requires an estimated annual investment of USD 48 billion by 2030, which is equivalent to around 3% of the global investment in energy infrastructure projected over the period until then. I think that providing universal access to modern, sustainable energy services is a prerequisite for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. I also support the inclusion of universal energy access in these objectives from 2015. At the Rio+20 summit, the EU should propose concrete targets for eradicating energy poverty and a road map for achieving them."@en1
