Sustainable Development Goal 7 – ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and
modern energy for all – holds a unique position in the nexus between the 2030 Agenda and
the Paris Agreement. Ensuring universal access is necessary for creating sustainable economic
growth and development. Failure to transition to sustainable energy systems will jeopardize
the fight against climate change and threaten human well-being and economies for decades.

Hosted by the Group of Friends of Sustainable Energy, this year’s joint launch event of the
SDG7 Tracking Report and the SDG7 Policy Briefs is intended to inform the discussions in
support of the High-level Political Forum in July, the High-level Dialogue on Energy in
September, the Decade of Action to deliver the SDGs, and the implementation of the UN
Decade of Sustainable Energy for All 2014-2024.

However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has further derailed the global efforts to get on
track to achieve the SDGs by 2030, including SDG7. Meanwhile, the average global
temperature has already risen to 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. We must
dramatically step up the pace of implementation to create a more resilient and sustainable
world.

Published annually, Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report provides the most
comprehensive look available at the world’s progress towards global energy targets on access
to electricity, clean cooking, renewable energy and energy efficiency. Prepared by the SDG7
Indicator Custodian Agencies – the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International
Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the UN Statistics Division (UNSD) at UN DESA, the World
Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO) – this year’s report gives the international
community the latest global dashboard to register progress on the SDG7 targets.

For the fourth time, a series of Policy Briefs on SDG7 has been compiled by the multistakeholder SDG7 Technical Advisory Group, composed of experts from governments, UN
organisations, International Organisations and other stakeholders, convened by DESA, in
support of the High-Level Political Forum. This year, the Policy Briefs provide a special focus
on the interlinkages of SDG7 with all other SDGs.
