Sustainable Development Goal 7, adopted by all UN member states in 2015, commits the world to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030.
Its targets cover universal access to electricity and clean cooking, a substantial increase in the share of renewable energy, and a doubling of the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency. Progress is tracked with the indicators on this site.
What it sets out to do
- Universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services
- A substantially higher share of renewable energy
- Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency
The CEII view
SDG 7 is measurable, which makes it useful: access, renewables and efficiency are tracked for every country on this platform. The gap is concentrated, and so is the opportunity.
