GLOBAL LAUNCH Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2022 & SDG7 Policy Briefs 2022?
A launch event was held on 1 June at UN Headquarters in New York to present the critically important findings of Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2022, as well as the SDG7 Policy Briefs on interlinkages of energy with other SDGs.
The event presentations gave a comprehensive look at where we stand based on the latest energy data available, against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and the triple crisis of food, energy and finance generated by the war in Ukraine. The launch was co-hosted by the Co-Chairs of the Group of Friends of Sustainable Energy (Denmark, Ethiopia, Norway, Pakistan) as an input to the High-level Political Forum coming up in July, as well as a moment to take stock on the road to implementing the Global Roadmap for Accelerated SDG7 Action coming out of the 2021 High-level Dialogue on Energy.
