SDG7:

AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY

Main targets:

01
Ensuring universal
access to affordable
electricity by 2030
means investing in clean
energy sources such as
solar, wind and thermal.
02
We must expand infrastructure
and upgrade technology to
provide clean energy in all
developing countries. That is a
crucial goal that can both
encourage growth and help the
environment.
03
This target calls for global
progress on energy
efficiency by doubling the
rate of improvement in
energy efficiency globally
by 2030.

accesS to energy RENEWABLE SOURCES

Undeveloped countries don’t have the
same energy access as we do. In
addition, the energy that they consume
is non-renewable.
Fossil fuels still account for more than 80
percent of global energy production, but
cleaner sources of energy are gaining
ground. About 29 percent of electricity
currently comes from renewable sources.
