The International Energy Agency estimates that more than 1.2 billion people, or 14 percent of the world's population, lack access to electricity, and twice that many, 2.6 billion, live without clean cooking facilities. (energytomorrow.org)
Under the New Policies Scenario, the population without access to clean cooking facilities slowly declines from 2.8 billion people in 2015 to 2.3 billion people in 2030. (iea.org)
The investment required for clean cooking facilities is modest, amounting to less than one - tenth of what is needed for universal electricity access. (iea.org)
