CLASP is the leading global authority on appliances’ role in fighting climate change and alleviating energy poverty. The appliance sector accounts for nearly 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Yet millions of people lack access to the essential appliances that drive productivity and enhance lives. To control emissions and provide universal access to critical services like cooling and cooking, the global community needs to immediately prioritize energy-efficient and affordable appliances. Later is too late.
