Arab Region Progress in Sustainable Energy Challenges and OpportunitiesRCREEE
The document summarizes the current status of sustainable energy in the Arab region and key challenges. Near-universal electricity access has been achieved in cities, but rural access remains around 80%. Energy consumption has more than doubled since 1990, with renewables playing a marginal role at 4% of energy. Barriers to expanding renewable energy and energy efficiency include high costs, lack of incentives, and insufficient policies. Universal access to electricity and clean cooking fuels has not been achieved. Water scarcity and dependence on fossil fuels are significant regional challenges. Promoting investments, technology, capacity building, and data are priorities to meet development and climate goals.
