Out of this figure, about half of them live in fragile and conflict-affected settings.<\/p>\n<p>The statement, quoting the recently released Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress report, said that unless efforts are scaled up significantly in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/06\/04\/sylva-fg-to-collaborate-with-african-countries-on-local-content\/\">countries<\/a> with the largest deficits, the world will still fall short of ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the report, significant progress has been made since 2010 on various aspects of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, but progress has been unequal across regions,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile more than one billion people gained access to electricity globally over the last decade, COVID\u2019s financial impact has made basic electricity services unaffordable for 30 million more people, the majority located in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia had the biggest electricity access deficits, with Ethiopia replacing India in the Top 3.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmong the 20 countries with the largest access deficits, Bangladesh, Kenya, and Uganda showed the greatest improvement since 2010, thanks to annual electrification growth rates in excess of 3 percentage points, driven largely by an integrated approach that combined grid, mini grid and on-grid solar electrification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The World Bank also included Nigeria among the top 20 countries with most people lacking access to clean fuel and technologies for cooking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf the top 20 countries with greatest number of people lacking access to clean fuel and technologies for cooking, 10 are located in Sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, United Republic of Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, Madagascar, Ghana, Niger),\u201d the statement adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSix are in Eastern Asia and South-eastern Asia (China, Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, Viet Nam, the Democratic Republic of Korea) and four are in Central Asia and Southern Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her remark, Mari Pangestu, managing director of development policy and partnerships at the World Bank, said: \u201cThe Tracking SDG7 report shows that 90 percent of the global population now has access to electricity, but disparities exacerbated by the pandemic, if left unaddressed, may keep the sustainable energy goal out of reach, jeopardizing other SDGs and the Paris Agreement\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAddressing energy access and climate change requires an inclusive energy transition.
