SDG Target #7.2

SDG #7 is to “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.”

Within SDG #7 are 5 targets, of which we here focus on Target 7.2:

By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services

Target 7.2 has one indicator:

  • Indicator 7.2.1: Renewable energy share in the total final energy consumption 

The renewable energy share in final energy consumption worldwide is 19% using 2020 data, far from this target’s aim of universal access to move away from the emission of carbon dioxide.
