Energy access is improving, but progress towards 2030 targets requires ‘greater collective effort’, says new report

Significant progress has been made toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) of universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy by 2030. However, the current rate of progress is insufficient to meet the target globally and continued international financial support and cooperation are essential to accelerate progress and address regional disparities, finds a new report. Although the percentage of the world population that had access to electricity rose to almost 92% in 2023, some 666 million people still lacked basic access.
