Adopted unanimously by the international community in 2000, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a list of human development objectives to be achieved by 2015. Although energy is not addressed in any of the eight MDGs, access to clean, and affordable energy is a prerequisite to achieving sustainable development. Providing the poor with electricity and modern fuels such as kerosene, LPG and natural gas, can alleviate poverty and improve a variety of human development indicators.
