Rachel Kyte is one of the world’s leading voices for sustainable energy. Previously the World Bank’s vice president and special envoy for climate change until December 2015, she is now chief executive of Sustainable Energy for All, a multistakeholder initiative that advocates for clean and inclusive energy solutions.
Launched by the United Nations secretary-general in 2011, SE4ALL has three objectives — ensure universal access to modern energy services, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency and double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
Devex interviewed Kyte at the annual board of governors meeting of the Caribbean Development Bank last week in Montego Bay, Jamaica, to discuss just how those goals can be met.
