Energy and Sustainability Standards-
Sustainable Development Goals and Energy-
Sustainability and Energy Indicators in SDGsThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, represent a universal call to action to address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. Achieving these goals by 2030 requires robust monitoring systems to track progress. Energy plays a crucial role in achieving many of the SDGs, especially SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, but it is also deeply interconnected with other goals, such as SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). Therefore, having reliable and measurable energy indicators is essential to gauge the effectiveness of policies and programs aimed at enhancing sustainability.
In this context, energy indicators help assess access to clean, affordable, reliable energy, monitor the efficiency of energy systems, and track the environmental impact of energy production and consumption. These indicators are key to understanding how energy systems contribute to or hinder the achievement of the SDGs.
SDG 7 aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Energy is foundational to achieving many of the other SDGs, and it is often considered a “cross-cutting” goal because energy availability and affordability underpin key aspects of human well-being, including health, education, economic opportunity, and environmental sustainability.
Key Indicators for SDG 7:
Proportion of the population with access to electricity:
This indicator tracks the number of people who have reliable access to electricity, which is essential for economic and social development.
Proportion of the population with access to clean cooking solutions:
It measures the percentage of people using clean cooking technologies (e.g., LPG, electric stoves, biogas, etc.) to replace harmful biomass and coal-based cooking methods, which contribute to health issues such as respiratory diseases.
Renewable energy share in the total energy mix:
This indicator tracks the share of renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro, biomass, geothermal) in the total energy consumption, reflecting efforts toward transitioning to sustainable energy sources and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Energy efficiency improvement:
Energy efficiency is critical for reducing consumption and improving sustainability. This indicator monitors the progress of energy-saving measures in sectors such as industry, transport, and buildings.
Investments in energy infrastructure and clean energy technologies:
This indicator tracks investments in renewable energy infrastructure, including solar power, wind farms, and energy storage technologies. It is crucial for building the resilience of energy systems and supporting energy transitions.
How SDG 7 Indicators Contribute to Sustainability:
Energy is vital for the healthcare sector. Hospitals, clinics, and health facilities need reliable energy for lighting, equipment, and refrigeration of medicines. Moreover, clean cooking solutions reduce air pollution, thus improving respiratory health, especially for women and children.
Key Indicators for SDG 3 (related to energy):
Number of health facilities with reliable access to electricity:
This indicator assesses the electricity access in health institutions. Reliable energy ensures the operation of life-saving medical equipment and provides lighting for healthcare workers.
Reduction in deaths and illnesses attributed to household air pollution:
This indicator measures the health benefits of transitioning to clean cooking solutions. It tracks reductions in diseases like pneumonia, asthma, and cancer, often caused by the burning of traditional biomass fuels.
How SDG 3 and Energy Indicators Interact:
Energy production and consumption account for a substantial share of global greenhouse gas emissions, making energy a key factor in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. Transitioning to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and reducing emissions from fossil fuels are critical to achieving SDG 13.
Key Indicators for SDG 13 (related to energy):
Greenhouse gas emissions intensity of energy consumption:
This measures the carbon intensity (CO2 emissions per unit of energy produced) of the energy system. A reduction in carbon intensity indicates that the energy system is transitioning to cleaner, low-carbon sources.
Proportion of total energy consumption from renewable sources:
This indicator shows the share of renewable energy in total energy production and consumption, reflecting the progress of countries towards decarbonizing their energy systems.
Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions:
Monitoring carbon emissions from the energy sector helps track progress in reducing emissions and curbing global warming. It’s a direct measure of a country’s commitment to climate action.
Investment in climate-friendly energy technologies:
This indicator tracks financial investments in green technologies, including energy storage, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and renewable energy infrastructure.
How SDG 13 and Energy Indicators Interact:
SDG 9 emphasizes the importance of developing resilient infrastructure, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable industrialization. Sustainable energy systems are integral to creating green infrastructure and enabling industries to operate in an environmentally friendly manner.
Key Indicators for SDG 9 (related to energy):
Share of industry’s energy consumption in total energy consumption:
This indicator tracks energy consumption by industry, highlighting whether industrial sectors are adopting energy-efficient practices and renewable energy sources.
Research and development expenditure in energy technologies:
Investment in energy R&D is crucial for developing new technologies that can improve energy efficiency and sustainability. This indicator tracks the financial commitment to innovation in energy.
Proportion of energy-efficient industries:
This indicator measures the adoption of energy-saving technologies in industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and construction.
How SDG 9 and Energy Indicators Interact:
Energy access is crucial for reducing inequalities, particularly between urban and rural areas. The unequal distribution of energy services often exacerbates disparities in income, education, and health. SDG 10 aims to reduce inequalities within and among countries, and energy plays a central role in this.
Key Indicators for SDG 10 (related to energy):
Disparities in access to energy:
This indicator measures the difference in energy access between urban and rural areas or between rich and poor households. Addressing these disparities is critical for reducing inequality.
Energy poverty rates:
The proportion of the population living in energy poverty is a key indicator of inequality in energy access. Reducing energy poverty is essential for ensuring equal opportunities for all.
How SDG 10 and Energy Indicators Interact:
SDG 11 focuses on making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Sustainable energy solutions are central to building smart, resilient cities that promote environmental sustainability and quality of life for all urban residents.
Key Indicators for SDG 11 (related to energy):
Energy consumption per capita in urban areas:
This indicator measures the energy consumption levels in cities, helping to identify trends in urban energy demand and the need for energy-efficient solutions.
Proportion of cities with sustainable energy strategies:
This indicator tracks the adoption of sustainable energy strategies by local governments, which may include promoting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and green building practices.
How SDG 11 and Energy Indicators Interact:
Energy is essential for achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals. Monitoring energy indicators allows policymakers to track progress, identify gaps, and make data-driven decisions to improve energy systems. Reliable and accurate energy indicators are indispensable for reducing energy poverty, improving health outcomes, supporting climate action, and fostering economic development. By integrating these indicators into national development plans and international frameworks, countries can accelerate progress toward achieving the SDGs by 2030.
