Target 7.1: Universal access to modern energy
UN definition: "By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services."
Access to electricity - SDG Indicator 7.1.1
Definition: Indicator 7.1.1 is the "proportion of the population with access to electricity".
This is measured as the share of people with electricity access at the household level. It comprises electricity sold commercially, both on-grid and off-grid.
Goal: "By 2030 ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services".
This requires universal access to electricity by 2030.
Access to clean fuels for cooking - SDG Indicator 7.1.2
Definition: Indicator 7.1.2 is the "proportion of the population with primary reliance on clean fuels and technology".
This is measured as the share of the total population with access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking. Access to clean fuels or technologies such as clean cookstoves reduces exposure to indoor air pollutants, a leading cause of death in low-income households.
Goal: "By 2030 ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services".
This requires universal access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking by 2030.
Target 7.2: Increase global percentage of renewable energy
UN definition: "By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix."
Renewable energy - SDG Indicator 7.2.1
Definition: Indicator 7.2.1 is "renewable energy share in the total final energy consumption".
This is measured as renewable energy (inclusive of solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, bioenergy, and marine sources) as a share of final (not primary) energy consumption. Energy mix includes electricity, transportation, and cooking/heating fuels.
Goal: "By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix".
Target 7.3: Double the improvement in energy efficiency
UN definition: "By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency."
