One of the most important pursuits of Sustainable Development Goals is to meet the needs of present generations without compromising future ones or depriving them of a clean world and healthy societies. <\/span>This is exactly what the Seventh Sustainable Development Goal is about, aiming to provide clean, affordable, and renewable energy that most countries can benefit from.<\/span><\/p>

What is the Concept of Clean Energy?<\/span><\/h2>

Clean and sustainable energy is renewable and inexhaustible energy and has no harm to the environment. Unlike most current energy sources such as fossil fuels and gas that are vulnerable to future drainage.
<\/span>The most common resources of clean energy are water, wind, and solar power, and some countries are trying to extract clean energy from the ground.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>

Why is Affordable and Clean Energy one of the Sustainable Development Goals?<\/span><\/h2>

Many people, as well as countries, think that clean energy is nothing but a waste of money and resources and that the future generations’ problems don’t concern us. That is why it is necessary to shine a light on the importance of providing clean energy, as it wasn’t in vain to be a goal of Sustainable Development.<\/span><\/p>

1 in 7 people lack electricity, and most of them live in rural areas in developing countries. <\/span>Energy is the main contributor to climate change, it produces around 60% of greenhouse gases. <\/span>While more efficient energy standards can reduce building and industry electricity consumption by 14%. <\/span>Also more than 40% of the world’s population -3 billion- rely on polluting and unhealthy fuels for cooking. <\/span>The renewable energy sector employed a record of 10.3 million people in 2017. <\/span>In addition, since 1990, global emissions of CO2 have increased by more than 46%. [2]<\/a>
<\/span>These numbers are enough to show the importance of clean energy and why it is one of the Sustainable Development Goals, as it is not only a problem of future generations but ours too.<\/span><\/p>

As explained, current energy sources are one of the most important causes of climate change; such as global warming, caused by gas emissions resulting from the extraction and use of non-renewable energy. <\/span>Moreover, contrary to popular belief, clean energy will help by creating more job opportunities and reducing energy consumption. <\/span>So, it is safe to say that the world’s trend towards clean energy sources will have positive effects at all levels.<\/span><\/p>

What are the targets of the 7th Sustainable Development Goal?<\/span><\/h2>

Under this goal there are five sub-targets that we all hope to achieve:<\/span><\/p>
