Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy Energy is becoming more sustainable and widely available. Access to
electricity in poorer countries has begun to accelerate, energy efficiency
continues to improve, and renewable energy is making impressive gains in the
electricity sector. But more efforts are needed to improve access to clean and
safe cooking fuels and technologies, to expand the use of renewable energy and increase electrification in sub-Saharan Africa.
- 3 billion people rely on wood, coal, charcoal, or animal waste for
cooking and heating
- Energy accounts for around 60 percent of total global greenhouse
gas emissions.
Goal 7.1: Ensure universal access to affordable,
reliable, and modern energy services
Goal 7.2: Increase substantially the share of
renewable energy in the global energy mix
Goal 7.3: Double the global rate of improvement
in energy efficiency

Sustainable development goal 7 aims to provide
affordable and clean energy especially in poor countries.
There still are
around three billion people who use wood, coal, and animal waste to cook and
heat their homes, causing more greenhouse gas emissions than clean energies.
The goal aims to provide access to cleaner, more reliable, and efficient energy
to everyone, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
