The International Day of Clean Energy aims to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet. Clean energy plays a key role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and helping communities access reliable power sources.
SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030. Currently, the world is not on track to achieve SDG 7, with 675 million people still living in the dark and lacking access to reliable power sources. In April 2024, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) will hold a Global Stocktaking on Sustainable Energy to assess progress and recommend solutions.
