Interview: Expanding energy access to fight extreme poverty (Part 2)

In the second of two short videos, Richenda Van Leeuwen, executive director of Energy and Climate at the United Nations Foundation, discusses what the private sector, governments and civil society can do in 2012 to tackle energy poverty. I had a chance to interview her during the the recent 2012 Ashden Conference on Sustainable Solution for Better Lives.
