Electric energy has enabled since the invention of the electric light bulb a remarkable human development and many people across the world take access to it as granted.

“The Energy & Poverty Village has been debating a way of transit to a low-carbon energy system but with no one left behind. We believe and defend a Social Green Deal, a great amount of effort towards a cleaner and more inclusive energy system in harmony with our "Common Home" as defended by Pope Francis”.
