CLASP shows how efficient, high-quality appliances alleviate energy poverty and promote sustainable development—positively impacting billions of people. Efficient appliances are also a vital climate solution as they are a proven, cost-effective means of reducing climate emissions, improving resilience for climate-vulnerable communities.

Living without access to electricity is still a reality for more than 675 million people worldwide. This energy poverty has detrimental effects on health, productivity, and livelihoods. To tackle this, CLASP drives technology innovation and catalyzes appliance market growth, putting efficient, affordable, high-quality appliances and equipment within reach of low-income families and communities, as well as smallholder farmers.

CLASP’s landmark Net Zero Heroes report showed that the appliance sector accounts for nearly 40% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions. Improving appliance efficiency is a proven, cost-effective solution to slash emissions.

To share these solutions and advance discussions, CLASP will attend the 2025 Sustainable Energy for All Forum (SEforALL Global Forum) on 12 and 13 March to showcase how efficient appliances are pivotal for climate action and sustainable development.
