What the numbers say
In 2024, Fiji's access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking, urban (% of urban population) rose 1 percentage points on 2023 (from 73% to 74%).
Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +0.78 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.54 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3 percentage points in 2014 and the biggest yearly fall was 2 percentage points in 2005. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.87 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 97% of the movement over 10 observed years.
