Abstract
Access to safe and sustainable energy is crucial to help refugees stay safe and rebuild their lives. In the ‘Global Strategy for Sustainable Energy 2019-2024’, UNHCR states that “all refugees, host communities and support structures should be able to satisfy their energy needs in a sustainable manner, without fear or risks to their health, well-being and personal security, while ensuring the least possible environmental impact” (UNHCR, 2019). Sustainable and cost-efficient energy solutions are recognised as being able to increase the self-reliance of vulnerable people and release social tensions. Therefore, giving access to safe sustainable energy to those in displacement settings and surrounding communities is of paramount importance.
