Discussion of global SDG 7 efforts to provide clean energy access to all
The 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for our planet to tackle the most pressing issues of our time. Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) seeks to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and clean energy for all. This SDG is critical in ensuring developing nations gain access to modern energy sources by 2030 and encourages the use of clean, renewable energy. Head to our YouTube channel to get the full breakdown on SDG 7 and what you can do to create a better, more sustainable world.
Energy access is a major issue of social and sustainable development because it is a top determinant of the quality of life and one in five people around the world do not have access to clean energy even though this industry is one of the top contributors to climate change. The UN is working on this issue with special programs, with the help of the member-states, and results are already being observed.
