ES Sustainable Development Goals: 7. Renewable Energy

In the past, many countries have made it their mission to go all-renewable, and some have been very successful. Today, more than 5 countries have achieved their goal, and many more vow to go 100% renewable by 2050.

Comprehensive data on world energy markets.

In this entry we attempt to cover the fundamental pillars we need to understand global and regional energy systems: their evolution through time in terms of consumption, relative sources, and trade; progress in global energy access and our transition towards low-carbon sources; and crucially the main development, economic and health drivers behind the energy choices we make. It is intended to provide a fundamental background to the macro-trends in our historical and current energy systems, with key learnings on how we can use this understanding to shape pathways towards a sustainable future.
