A World Bank report claims that nearly 1.6bn people in the developing world do not have access to electricity, of which nearly 400m are in India. The report suggests that developing countries, including India, can shift to lower-carbon paths while promoting development. Interestingly, the report says that developing countries “will need assistance in adapting to the changing climate”. Technology transfer and international funding for clean energy solutions are two central pillars of India’s negotiations for Copenhagen meet in December this year.
