Abstract

The world is facing a global humanitarian crisis: there are now over 82 million people displaced worldwide, with that number projected to reach 100 million people in just a few short years. Alongside this humanitarian crisis, the threat of climate change also looms large. The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2021 report clearly states the urgency of taking global action on the climate crisis, warning that “without immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, it will be impossible to limit warming close to 1.5°C or even 2°C”. To address both the humanitarian and climate crisis, sustainable energy is needed within displaced communities to ensure a just transition that does not further damage the environment and leaves no one behind in the goal to achieve universal energy access.
