increased social equity, and an environment that allows the world to thrive.
Development is not possible without energy, and sustainable development is not
possible without sustainable energy.” SEforAll had three objectives to be achieved
by 2030:
• Ensuring universal access to modern forms of energy like electricity
• Doubling the share of renewable energy
• Doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency
These objectives were quickly subsumed within the 2015 Sustainable
Development Goals.
3.7 Sustainable Development Goals
The 2012 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development focused on
establishing a new round of development goals. A 3-year “Post-2015 Development
Agenda” process culminated in the adoption by the UN General Assembly in 2015
of a document “Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development.”
Much bigger and bolder than the Millennium Development Goals, the 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressed: (1) poverty; (2) hunger; (3)
health and well-being; (4) education; (5) gender equality; (6) water and sanitation;
(7) energy; (8) work and economic growth; (9) industry, innovation and infrastructure; (10) reduced inequalities; (11) cities and communities; (12) consumption and
production; (13) climate change; (14) oceans, seas and marine life; (15) terrestrial
ecosystems, forests, desertification, land degradation and biodiversity; (16) peace,
justice and social institutions; and (17) cooperation, finance, data and monitoring
and other activities to achieve the goals.
As of summer 2018, the 17 SDG includes 169 targets and 243 indicators/metrics.
Here food, energy, and water are explicit in SDGs 2, 6, and 7 and arguably
implicit in many of the other goals. Within these three SDGs are specific objectives
with some additional strategies. Each includes a diverse set of objectives and
indicators.
3.7.1 SDG 2 Food
Sustainable Development Goal 2 aims to “end hunger, achieve food security and
improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.” To achieve this goal, SDG
2 has the following targets and indicators/metrics:
Target 2.1. By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular, the
poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe,
nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
