Achieving universal access to clean and affordable energy (SDG7) will be a game changer for both people and the planet - today, 675 million people remain without access to electricity, while 2.3 billion are without access to clean cooking. Advancing SDG7 will have a ripple effect across all of the SDGs but will require dramatically scaled up action and investment. The Energy Compacts Initiative focuses on the critical need for financing just, inclusive and equitable energy transitions, in alignment with the Secretary-General¡¯s Acceleration Agenda.
