Affordable and Clean Energy
Target
7.1
By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services
7.2
By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix
7.3
By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency
7.a
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
7.b
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
Renewable Energy
Affordable and clean energy is essential for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 and promoting sustainable economic growth. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are increasingly becoming the most cost–effective and efficient solution for meeting energy demands. Investing in renewable energy sources can help reduce the costs and environmental impacts associated with traditional energy sources. This can also lead to increased energy access for those in need, improved air quality, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. By investing in renewable energy now, we can create a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come.
Clean Cooking
Affordable and clean energy is a priority for many countries, and one way to achieve this is through cooking with clean energy sources. Clean cooking involves the use of energy sources that are renewable, safe, and affordable. These include solar energy, biogas, and improved cookstoves. All of these solutions have a direct impact on reducing air pollution, thereby helping to improve the health of those living in the surrounding area. Installing clean cooking solutions can also help to reduce energy costs, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).
