 About SDG

The Sustainable Development Goals are

the blueprint to achieve a better and
more sustainable future for all. They
address the global challenges we face,
including those related to poverty,
inequality, climatechange,
environmental degradation, peace and
justice. The17Goalsare
allinterconnected,and in order to leave
no one behind, it is important that we
achievethem allby 2030.

What do they do?

•TheSustainable Development Goalsare a universal call to action to

end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects
of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN
Member States in 2015, as part of the2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Developmentwhich set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals.
•Today,progressis being made in many places, but, overall, action to
meet the Goals is not yet advancing at the speed or scale required.
2020 needs to usher in a decade of ambitious action to deliver the
Goals by 2030.

Why was it created ?

•The day to day running of cities is a complicated business.

Bootstrapped budgets, burdensome procurement processes, and a
dearth of talent make it extremely difficult to execute efficiently. Add
to that an ever growing list of challenges-choked transportation
system too often coupled with a lack of affordable housing or
accessible public spaces; inequality and injustice and climate change,
whether or not city managers choose to address them. For those
charged with finding problem to these solutions to these issues, a
finger wagging about what your priorities should be can be pretty
annoying. But that is exactly SDG do. And they are long overdue.

 Why SDG 7 ?
•Between 2000 and 2016, the number of people with
electricity increased from 78 to 87 percent, and the
numbers without electricity dipped to just below one
billion.
•Yet as the population continues to grow, so will the
demand for cheap energy, and an economy reliant on
fossil fuels is creating drastic changes to our climate.
•Investing in solar, wind and thermal power, improving
energy productivity, and ensuring energy for all is vital
if we are to achieve SDG 7 by 2030.
•Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to
provide clean and more efficient energy in all countries
will encourage growth and help the environment.

Affordable and Clean
energy
•Renewable energy solutions are becoming
cheaper, more reliable and more efficient every
day.
•Our current reliance on fossil fuels is
unsustainable and harmful to the planet, which
is why we have to change the way we produce
and consume energy.
•Implementing these new energy solutions as
fast as possible is essential to counter climate
change, one of the biggest threats to our own
survival.

 India and Goal 7
India is projected to be a significant contributor to the rise in global
energy demand, around one-quarter of the total. However, as of 2016,
more than 207 million people in India do not have access to electricity.
Main sources of energy in india

The government’sNational Solar Missionis playing an important role in the work

towards renewable energy, and interventions in rural electrification and new
ultra-mega power projects are moving India towards achieving universal energy
access.

 Challenges-

•The main problem is not of availability rather affordability.

• Even though the number of household electrified is 96% but
meaningful access is only 37%. The problem faced in states
like Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh is of connectivity
