Par art I t I: Se Setti ting the Sc Scene

What i is the e e ener ergy s situation i in d displacem cement s settings?

Poor Energy Access

• 90% no electricity access
• 80% rely on solid fuels for

cooking

New Political Impetus

• Rethinking the response for the

displaced: GCR, GCM, CRRF

• Environmental stress for hosts
• UN to be carbon neutral

Existing Cost of Response

• Over $1.2 billion spent on oil

based fuels in 2017 (including around 800 Mio. fuel for transportation)

Ener ergy S Situati tion i in D Displacem cemen ent S Setti tings

High Forced Migration Rates

• 68.5 million displaced population
• Over 25 million displaced by

natural disaster annually

Relevance e of Ener ergy t to the H Humanitarian C Cluster ers

Where Does Energy “Fit?” Answer: Everywhere The GPA seeks to accelerate and improve the incorporation

• f energy access across all

humanitarian clusters & sector groups, where relevant

Key C Challen enges es

Limited and poorly shared data on humanitarian needs and solutions Limited expertise and capacity to plan or implement sustainable energy solutions Energy in displacement settings is underfunded Displaced people are not included in national or international energy-access agendas Energy is not a formal priority in humanitarian assistance
