Energy has its own goal (SDG 7) and is also very linked to other goals SDG 3. 9: Substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination SDG 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts SDG 17: Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development (including capacity building and data monitoring and accountability) © OECD/IEA © IEA 2018

How are SDGs monitored? At the global level, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and all their targets are monitored through a set of global indicators. The global indicator framework was developed by the Inter Agency Expert Group (IAEG-SDGs: Chief statisticians from Member States), and agreed on by the UN Statistical Commission. Governments will also develop their own national indicators to assist in monitoring progress made on the goals and targets. © OECD/IEA © IEA 2018

SDG 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable & modern energy for all Target Indicator Custodians 7. 1: By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services 7. 1. 1: Proportion of population with access to electricity World Bank 7. 1. 2: Proportion of population with primary reliance on clean fuels and technology WHO 7. 2: By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix 7. 2. 1 Renewable energy share in the total final energy consumption IEA, UNSD, IRENA 7. 3 By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency 7. 3. 1 Energy intensity measured in terms of primary energy by GDP IEA, UNSD These four indicators have been classified “Tier 1”: good methods/good data © OECD/IEA © IEA 2018

The policy need for data What data do we need? SDG links with national policies and data needs for monitoring © OECD/IEA 2018 9

An opportunity to enhance data capacity globally Better tracking requires enhanced data collection capacity across countries © OECD/IEA © IEA 2018

Key messages on tracking SDG 7 and data needs • SDG 7 is raising profile of energy statistics globally – through a coherent framework that optimises use of available data (e. g. energy balances) • Tracking SDG 7 progress requires complete data (good basic statistics) on all energy sources, improved data on access, renewable sources (biofuels, solar PV, …) and efficiency improvements. • At national level: cooperation across institutions working on energy domain (policy + statistics) is essential, and leveraging on existing resources • National Statistical Offices play a very important role (e. g. energy surveys; linking energy to other domains; facilitating communication across institutions). © OECD/IEA © IEA 2018
