SDG 7, or Sustainable Development Goal 7, aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The specific targets under SDG 7 are as follows:
- By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services.
- By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
- By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.
- By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology.
- By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States, and land-locked developing countries, in accordance with their respective programmes of support.
Achieving these targets will require significant investment, innovation, and cooperation at the national and international levels. Meeting these goals will have a positive impact on global energy access, sustainability, and environmental protection.
