Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.

Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today. Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all is vital for growth, innovation, and environmental protection.

While progress has been made in expanding access to electricity, nearly 675 million people still live without it. Fossil fuels remain dominant in the global energy mix, contributing to climate change and pollution.

The SDGs call for greater investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and cleaner technologies. Promoting sustainable energy infrastructure and global cooperation can help power economic growth while protecting the planet.
