Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Goal 7 calls for:

  • ensuring universal access to modern energy services
  • improving energy efficiency
  • increasing the share of renewable energy

To accelerate the transition to an affordable, reliable and sustainable energy system that fulfils these demands countries need to:

  • facilitate access to clean energy research and technology
  • promote investment in resource and energy-efficient solutions and related infrastructure
