Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy

Alisher Mirzabaev and Qiu Chen

Chapter 18 in Handbook on Public Policy and Food Security, 2024, pp 185-193 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Ensuring affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all (SDG 7) is a core cross-cutting ingredient of sustainable development because it plays an important role in eradicating hunger, reducing poverty, and achieving green growth. This makes the attainment of SDG 7 crucial, especially in developing countries where many households rely on traditional bioenergy with significant negative environmental, economic and health-related impacts. This chapter reviews the current state of affairs and progress on attaining the targets of SDG 7, conceptualises the linkages between SDG 7 and SDG 2 on Zero Hunger, and highlights the solutions and opportunities for boosting synergies between improving energy access and enhancing food security.
