SDG 7: CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL
- Double global rate of improvement in energy efficiency
- Increase share of renewable energy globally
- Expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern, sustainable energy services
- Enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology
- Expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing nations, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States and land-locked developing countries
Speeding the race to renewables
With large reserves of critical energy transition minerals, developing countries have an opportunity to transform and diversify their economies, create green jobs and foster sustainable local development, according to the panel.
However, mineral resource development has not always met this promise.
Responding to calls from developing countries for globally agreed guidance to ensure responsible, fair and just value chains, the panel brought together governments, intergovernmental and international organizations, industry, and civil society to build trust, guide the just transition and accelerate the race to renewables.
