Global urbanization and ruralization lessons of clean energy access gap

Andrew Adewale Alola · 2024 · Energy Policy

Summary. This study examines clean energy access inequality between urban and rural areas across high, low, lower-middle, and upper-middle income economies from 2010 to 2021.

The findings offer policy guidance for achieving sustainable development goals related to energy access and inequality reduction.
