Sustainable Development Goal 7 is about ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. This involves providing sustainable and clean energy to everyone without harming the environment or causing adverse health effects. Development in this area includes the use and development of renewable energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, and bioenergy. Additionally, it encompasses the development and utilization of clean and efficient technologies to reduce the use of energy that emits greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Sustainable development in clean energy accessible to all aims to establish safe, secure, and environmentally friendly energy systems. It also aims to make these energy products accessible at affordable prices and easy to use in all communities, ensuring that everyone can access clean energy and sustainably lead their lives in diverse living conditions.
