Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy

The goal is divided into several sub-goals: universal, affordable and reliable access to modern energy services (7.1), significantly increasing the share of renewable energies in the global energy mix (7.2) and doubling the global rate of increase in energy efficiency (7.3). This is to be achieved through increased international cooperation to facilitate access to research, technology and investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technologies (7.a) and to promote infrastructure development and technological modernisation with a focus on the least developed countries (7.b).
