The Recover Better with Sustainable Energy Guide for South Asian Countries

The Recover Better with Sustainable Energy Guide for South Asian Countries outlines the energy access challenges and economic risks facing South Asian nations during the pandemic, urging leaders to utilize recovery efforts to transition toward sustainable development and updated Nationally Determined Contributions.

• The pandemic threatens to reverse progress toward Sustainable Development Goals in South Asia, with an estimated 132 million people potentially pushed into extreme poverty and the regional economy projected to shrink for the first time in forty years.
• Significant energy access gaps persist in South Asia, where approximately 990 million people lack clean cooking solutions. While the Maldives has over 95 percent access to clean cooking, other countries in the region require increased efforts to provide electricity access, especially in rural areas, with the exception of Bhutan and the Maldives.
