About 关于我们 (CN)
2010年，在全球范围内，大约有12亿人口过着没有电的生活。目前，这一数字已经降到7.89亿*。尽管已经取得重大进展，但根据现行和计划政策，预计到2030年，仍将有6.2亿人口无法接入电力，且这部分人口的85％集中在撒哈拉以南的非洲。 这些无法享受到现代能源服务的人口，大多数依靠煤油、蜡烛、手电筒或其他以化石燃料为能源的技术来提供照明。这些获取能源的传统方式价格昂贵，有害健康，高危且有污染性。它们使地球上最贫困的人群陷入能源贫困的生活，既限制了经济发展，又阻碍了人们追求教育、民生发展、健康和包括通讯，供水和交通在内的各项基本服务的步伐。 点亮全球是由世界银行集团发起的倡议，旨在为全球7.89亿无法接入电力的人口迅速接入离网太阳能。点亮全球项目由国际金融公司和世界银行共同管理，并得到能源部门管理援助计划 (ESMAP) 的支持，与制造商、分销商、政府和其他发展伙伴进行合作，共同建立和发展现代离网太阳能市场。我们的项目得到了能源部门管理援助计划 (ESMAP)、公私基础设施咨询机构 (The Public – Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility，简称 PPIAF)、荷兰外交部 (The Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs)、意大利环境、领土与海洋部 (The Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land, and Sea，简称 IMELS)，以及宜家基金会…
