Ahead of 2030, Access to Clean Fuels and Technologies Fails in Sub Saharan Africa - Global Report

 

The 2024 Annual Report: Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress Report that tracks global progress with a global dashboard to register progress on the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7): ensuring universal energy access, doubling progress on energy efficiency and substantially increasing the share of renewable energy is out.

It also registers progress towards enhanced international cooperation to facilitate access to clean and renewable energy by 2030, as well as on the expansion of infrastructure and technology upgrade for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries. It assesses the progress made by each country on these targets and provides a snapshot of how far we are from achieving SDG7.

It serves as a guide for policymakers and the international community in advancing energy access, energy efficiency, renewable energy and international cooperation.

According to this Report, the world is not on track to achieve universal access to clean cooking by 2030. This is more noticeable in sub-Saharan Africa (pink line below), where the number of people without access to clean fuels & technologies continues to climb 📈 . 
 
The Report is jointly prepared by the Custodian Agencies – the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO).

It also receives inputs from the SDG7 Technical Advisory Group which comprises more than 30 organizations around the world and has been made possible with the support of our partners.
