Affordable and clean energy

Goal Seven calls for universal access to modern and clean energy, improving energy efficiency and decreasing negative environmental impact of energy use. Highlights of the baseline status of the region cover three important aspects of the goal: increasing access to energy services, increasing share of renewable energy and improving energy efficiency. Although more data is needed for comprehensive assessment of the progress towards this goal, the trends indicate that with the right policy focus, including on energy efficiency and renewable energy investments, it will be possible to meet the targets without jeopardizing the achievement of the thematically related targets on climate change.
