In addition, this would be equitable and have a highly positive effect in respect of creating new economic activities and development. This is a huge sum for the poorest of the developing countries but it is a humble one in comparison with other financial flows.

In comparison, the cost of bringing 2 billion into the modern energy service system would appear to be a real bargain.
