Global Goal 7: Affordable & Clean Energy
What is the Goal?
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
1 billion people still live without electricity. Access to modern energy is crucial to improving security, health and education.
By 2000 79% of the world population had access to electricity.
By 2015 85% of the world population had access to electricity.
BY 2030 ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services.
Why does it matter?
Lack of access to energy supplies and transformation systems is a constraint to human and economic development. The environment provides a series of renewable and non-renewable energy sources i.e. solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, biofuels, natural gas, coal, petroleum, uranium.
