An integrated and interdependent analysis of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in relation to Target 8.7

7. Affordable and clean energy

Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today.

Be it for jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing incomes, access to energy for all is essential. Sustainable energy is opportunity – it transforms lives, economies and the planet.

By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States, and land-locked developing countries, in accordance with their respective programmes of support.
