The IEA’s annual report on access to electricity highlights that the pandemic had a huge negative impact on progress, and raise concerns about the potential for recovery. Furthermore, if the relevant SDG policies would continue as they are then they predict about 62% of people in sub-saharan africa with electricity (today we are at 48%). They suggest that further $35 billion per year is needed to get global worldwide access to electricity by 2030.
Thanks for providing the additional context! Progress Thread or no, it’s still useful to hear when we’ve gone off-track from a progress goal, or seen a trend get worse.
Caution—negative outlook!
