60 Kleinman Center for Energy Policy 2018–2019 Annual ReportFEATURED EVENTENERGY TRANSITIONS:THE CRITICAL PATHHow do we provide access to sustainable energy for the billion or morepeople who still lack electricity? To address this challenging question, weinvited the U.N.’s Rachel Kyte—who spoke to a Kleinman Center audiencein April.Rachel Kyte, representative to the United Nations and CEO of Sustainable Energy forAll has an important message to share with the world—and it isn’t just about energy andsustainability. It’s about people and fairness.“It seems ridiculous to me that in 2019, in a world with so many sophisticated solutions toso many problems, we can’t find a way for almost three billion people to have access to ameal that’s cooked with clean fuels,” Kyte said.Of those three billion people, the World Health Organization estimates that each year nearlyfour million people die from illnesses related to indoor air pollution caused by using keroseneand solid fuels like charcoal and dung in open fires. The people who do the cooking—mostlypoor women in rural areas and their children—experience the greatest levels of exposure.This is just one example of the critical issues that leaders must grapple with as the worldattempts to decarbonize.Kyte emphasized that leaders must walk “a critical path” of speeding up the transition tonet-zero carbon economies while also meeting the needs of those in the world who haveunreliable and unaffordable energy.“Energy systems of the future will look nothing like theenergy systems of the past.”—RACHEL KYTE
