Footnote: Indicator 7.b.1 is in two parts. Part 1 of the indicator (“Investments in energy efficiency as a proportion of GDP...") is currently displaying, and we are in the process of sourcing Part 2 ("...the amount of foreign direct investment in financial transfer for infrastructure and technology to sustainable development services”). FDI data disaggregated by ‘sustainability development services’ (or similar) are not currently available, and UN Stat (1) recommend further 'reflections on definition' to inform data acquisition for this indicator.

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from UK statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator.
