LISBON (
Thomson Reuters Foundation-
The world is developing too slowly to achieve the goal of providing electricity and clean cooking to everyone on Earth by 2030, and progress has been made in using less energy
The international agency said Wednesday that fuel pollution in the kitchen was particularly serious.
In 2016, there were billions of people without electricity, accounting for 13% of the global population, most of whom lived in rural areas.
New data released by the World Bank, the United Nations and other organizations show sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The number of arrivals increased, with an estimated 0. 674 billion-
About 8% of the world\'s population
In a report, they said there would still be no electricity in 2030.
In 2016, 3 billion people were unable to access clean fuel and cooking technology, accounting for more than 40% of the global population.
The report says indoor air pollution caused by burning wood, feces, kerosene and other dirty fuels causes more than 4 million deaths per year, with women and children at the highest risk.
\"We must be more ambitious in using the power of renewable energy to achieve sustainable development and climate goals, and take more thoughtful actions to achieve a sustainable energy future,\" Adnan Z said . \". Amin, director-
Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency responsible for the preparation of the report.
The global development goals that are currently being pursued include universal power and clean cooking, as well as doubling the rate of energy efficiency gains, and a significant increase in the share of renewable energy in the world energy structure.

The forum on \"how to achieve the goal\" held in Lisbon stressed that some countries --
Especially in East Africa.
In recent years, they have made great progress in supplying power to the people.
Vivian Foster, global head of the World Bank\'s energy economy, pointed out,
For the first time in the history of sub-Saharan Africa, the number of people living without electricity began to decline, which may be a \"turning point in the continent\'s electricity \".
Previously, efforts to increase power capacity could not keep up with population growth.

Foster said at the forum.
The progress of East Africa is made by small-
Solar power supply, due to the increase of \"pay-as-you-go\"as-you-
In countries like Kenya and Tanzania, users can pay by phone.
The minister of state for energy, water and health of Rwanda, Germaine kamayiresse, said that her country was getting rid --
Grid solar power generation is difficult to achieve the goal of providing electricity to all by 2024.
Today, compared with only 42% people in 2009, 6% people have access to the Internet.
Experts at the World Bank say at least 30 million people around the world benefit from the Solar family system, but only about a dozen countries are embracing the revolution.
\"If more countries turn to this resource, we think that it may accelerate faster,\" said Foster . \" He pointed out that the government needs to develop a clean energy market to ensure good
High quality products.
The shift to cleaner cooking lags, she added, partly because it lacks policy makers to support the cause in many places.
The market for modern stoves is also underdeveloped.
Maria Neira, director of public health and environment at the World Health Organization, said that according to current trends, only 73% of people will be able to get clean fuel to cook by 2030.
\"This is absolutely unacceptable,\" she said at the meeting . \" She noted that such failure would \"have a huge impact on people\'s health \".
Progress in promoting renewable energy use will also fall below the 2030 target, the report said.
As of 2015, there were 17 people around the world.
Of all the energy provided to end users (such as home, industry and agriculture), 5% came from renewable energy.
Solar and wind energy have become much cheaper, allowing them to compete with traditional energy sources such as coal.
But in 2015, electricity accounted for only 20% of energy consumption, the report said, indicating the need to accelerate the transition to clean energy for transportation and heating.
Energy efficiency is improving, and from 2010, economic growth in all regions, except West Asia, has exceeded the growth in energy use --
Reported 2015.
This means the country.
Especially industry.
Produce more with less energy.
Transportation and residential buildings did not show the same speed of improvement in energy efficiency.
According to the report, energy use in several rich developed countries such as Japan and the United States may have reached a peak, while in the developing countries, energy efficiency in China and Indonesia is rapidly improving.
\"In order to achieve the 2030 goals, we must make every energy sector work harder,\" said Rachel Kitt, CEO of the United Nations sustainable energy agency for all.
