Global Forces believes in the power of an advocacy network to promote change and that is why we work with partners across the globe who are working towards the MGD’s. Together we are able to reduce the effects of the energy poverty cycle, provide access to clean energy and provide a stepping stone through which students, families and their communities are able to conquer energy poverty.

1. Energy is a
human right
1.6 billion people on the planet suffer from energy
poverty. Even less have access to sustainable
sources.

2. 1.6 million+ children
in developing nations
die each year from
diseases that are
associated to toxic
chemicals given off
when kerosene and
firewood are burned.
That’s one life lost
every 20 seconds
according to United
Nations
Development
Program and the
WHO report.

3. 30% of a family’s annual income in the
developing world goes towards purchasing
kerosene.
$10 billion USD is spent each year on
kerosene for lighting in the homes of the poor in
developing countries.

4. 780 million
women and
children
breathing
kerosene
fumes inhale
the equivalent
of 2 packs of
cigarettes a
day according
to the World
Bank.

5. What if we could
change the reality
of energy poverty?

6. We have the ability “to be the change we want to see ”. Every individual
embodies a force within themselves. As a collective global force, we can
change the energy poverty landscape.
