The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encompasses a vision for a future which is safe, resilient, and sustainable. The 2030 Agenda comprises 17 SDGs, which are integrated and indivisible. SDG 7 aims to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all,” and has targets to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix, and double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency, all by 2030. SDG 7 presents interlinkages with the other 16 SDGs. Lack of progress in one sector may hinder the development and growth of other sectors. Therefore, a coordinated and integrated approach to energy transition needs to address social, economic, and environmental dimensions during implementation of SDG 7.
