Least Developed Countries Group Vision 2050: Achieving universal access to electricity through 100 percent renewables

In September 2019, during the UN Secretary General’s Climate Action Summit in New York, the Least Developed Countries (LDC) launched their LDC Group Vision for a climate-resilient future through climate-resilient development pathways by 2030 and delivery of net-zero emissions by 2050. One among the three aspects of the vision document is the LDC Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Initiative for Sustainable Development (LDC REEEI) framework that supports LDCs to achieve 100 percent access to modern energy by 2030 and 100 percent electricity from renewable energy sources by 2050. The framework attempts to fill the energy access gap through knowledge support and cooperation.
