The Global Goals: 7. Affordable and Clean Energy


Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. This is goal 7 with the Global Goals.


The aims of this goal are:
  • Ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services
  • Increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030
  • Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030
  • Enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technologies, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and advanced and cleaner fossil fuel technologies, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technologies
  • Expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, particularly for least developed countries and small island developing states


I also love the above quote, and think this should be the tagline of this goal because I think it puts it into perspective, along with the statistic that states carbon dioxide levels have increased by more than 46% since 1990.

I was also shocked to read that America produces 25% of the world's CO2 levels, yet they only amount to 4% of the world's population.
