This report contributes to the World Bank flagship report Accelerating Access to Clean Air for a Livable Planet and focuses on the residential sector energy use. The significance of this report stems from the critical role residential energy use plays in ambient air quality. The dispersed nature of clean cooking and residential space heating make this a challenging area, compound by the scale of the challenge with over 2 billion people globally, lacking access to clean cooking and widespread use of solid fuels in residential heating.
