🌍 Event Description:

How many people around the world today still lack access to clean energy? How many still rely on dirty fossil fuels for cooking, risking their health? And how much international funding is supporting clean energy development in developing countries?

These questions are central to UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7): universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy by 2030.

Join us to explore the latest data from Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress Report 2025. Key trends:

  • Gains in electricity access, but uneven progress

  • Lagging advancement in clean cooking solutions

  • Continued growth in renewables, yet disparities persist

  • Energy intensity decline, but efficiency needs acceleration

  • Increased international public financial flows to clean energy
