Two additional targets address implementation issues; one addressing finance
and one addressing investment in infrastructure and technology:
Target 7.A By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to
clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy,
energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology,
and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy
technology.
Metric 7.A.1 Mobilized amount of US dollars per year starting in 2020
accountable towards the $100 billion commitment.
Target 7.B By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying
modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries,
in particular, least developed countries, small island developing States,
and land- locked developing countries, in accordance with their respective programs of support.
Metric 7.B.1 Investments in energy efficiency as a percentage of GDP
and the amount of foreign direct investment in financial transfer for
infrastructure and technology to sustainable development services.
The World Bank leads a lead an annual review related to the SEforAll initiative
(see World Bank, 2017 Global Tracking Framework in Further Reading). The IEA,
IRENA, UN Statistics Division, World Bank, and WHO are the custodian agencies
for SDG 7 and put out a tracking report each year (see Further Reading).
3.7.4 Other SDGs
All SDG goals have some relevance to food, energy, and water.
• Achieving SDG 1 (poverty) and SDG 8 (work) will enable the poor of the world
to be able to afford more resources and address the access component of
security.
• Achieving SDG 3 (health and well-being) and SDG 11 (cities and settlements)
requires addressing hunger and nutrition, water and sanitation, and energy for
such services as refrigerating medicines. See Chap. 18 for FEW issues at the
city-scale relevant to SDG 11.
• Achieving SDG 4 (education) will result in less poverty and better utilization of
resources and services.
• Gender quality (SDG 5) and reduced inequality (SDG 10) will lower fertility
rates and allow women and others greater access to resources which can be utilized more efficiently (resources for basic need are used more efficiently than
resources for needs beyond basic)
• SGD 12 (consumption and production) includes a strong focus on the efficient
use of resources (including waste reduction, reuse, and recycling), which will
lower the demand for energy and water.
