Energy justice for all? Rethinking Sustainable Development Goal 7 through struggles over traditional energy practices in Sierra Leone (2017, background): “While there is little question that access to industrially-produced forms of energy such as electricity is critical for certain forms of development (Bhattacharyya, 2012; Sovacool and Drupady, 2012), we find the assumption that “traditional” energy sources are inferior is problematic.”
Sustainable Energy Development Index: A multi-dimensional indicator for measuring sustainable energy development (2015, background): “This explains why some countries are able to achieve high economic growth under relatively low energy access than others as was highlighted in the energy access programmes and sustainable development study [8].”
Energy poverty and public health: Global evidence (2021, background): “…assessed the impact of energy poverty on various key development dimensions, such as education (Oum, 2019), gender (Ruchi, 2015; Listo, 2018), and subjective wellbeing (Awaworyi Churchill et al., 2020), as well as a variety of other socio-economic dimensions (see Bhattacharyya, 2012 for a review).”
A cross-sectional review: Impacts and sustainability of small-scale renewable energy projects in developing countries (2014, background): “According to Bhattacharyya [4] most funds are allocated to larger energy generation projects that barely address the energy needs of the poor.”
