Affordable and Clean Energy
Energi Bersih dan Terjangkau
Deskripsi
Progress towards Goal 7 has been notable: from 2015 to 2023, global electricity access rose from 87 to 92 per cent, access to clean cooking fuels increased by 16 per cent, and renewable electricity continued to grow. However, progress is slowing –renewables lag in the transport and heating sectors, and energy efficiency gains have stalled. Moreover, only a small portion of global energy investment reaches the areas most in need. Achieving Goal 7 will require a significant boost in investment in emerging and developing economies, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa, to expand access to electricity and clean cooking, scale up renewable energy, improve energy efficiency and strengthen policy and regulatory frameworks. The United Nations energy compacts are designed to facilitate the clean energy transition and support the development of technical, policy and governance solutions to accelerate the achievement of Goal 7, including through the work of the Council on Engineers for the Energy Transition, launched under the auspices of the Secretary-General. The Just Energy Transition Partnership also provides support to countries.
