| Summary: | The Global Energy Progress Report 2019
provides a global dashboard on progress towards Sustainable
Development Goal 7 (SDG7), which sets 2030 targets for
reaching universal access to electricity and clean fuels and
technologies for cooking, substantially increasing the share
of renewable energy in the global mix, and doubling the rate
of improvement of energy efficiency. All the data used in
this pamphlet comes from the respective official source: for
electrification, the World Bank; for clean fuels and
technologies for cooking, the World Health Organization
(WHO); for renewable energy, the International Energy Agency
(IEA), the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) and the
International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA); and for
energy efficiency, the IEA and UNSD. All projections are
from the IEA’s World Energy Outlook. This report identifies
best practices that have proven successful in recent years,
as well as key approaches that policy makers may deploy in
coming years. Recommendations applicable to all SDG 7
targets include recognizing the importance of political
commitment and long-term energy planning, stepping up
private financing, and supplying adequate incentives for the
deployment of clean technology options. The following
sections review progress in electricity access, access to
clean cooking solutions, renewable energy, and energy
efficiency. The Energy Progress Report reviews progress to
2017 for energy access and to 2016 for renewable energy and
energy efficiency, against a baseline year of 2010. Its
methodology is detailed at the end of each chapter. |
