    Nearly 3 billion people rely on traditional biomass in order to meet their daily energy requirements. Protracted crises, particularly forced displacement settings, pose significant challenges in terms of securing and using energy safely and sustainably. Improved access to safe, sustainable, reliable and affordable energy can contribute significantly to the improvement of livelihoods in these communities. At the same time, opportunities for income-generating activities linked to the provision of energy services and technologies can enhance incomes and build resilience.
