Abstract

Achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 presents a tremendous opportunity for people, the planet and prosperity. In today’s uncertain geopolitical landscape, marked by conflicts, disruptions and growing inequalities, access to clean, affordable and reliable energy is more critical than ever. The clean energy transition can deliver major gains in terms of economic resilience, energy security and human well-being, while also accelerating progress on the SDGs and the Paris Agreement on climate change.

In line with the focus of the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) 2025, this year’s SDG7 Policy Briefs highlight energy’s vital interlinkages with health (SDG3), gender equality (SDG5), decent work and economic growth (SDG8). They also highlight the urgent needs of least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and small island developing states (SIDS).
