Abstract
The Energy Progress Report provides a
global dashboard on progress towards Sustainable Development
Goal 7 (SDG7). The report is a joint effort of the
International Energy Agency (IEA), the International
Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), United Nations Statistics
Division (UNSD), the World Bank, and the World Health
Organization (WHO), which the United Nations (UN) has named
as global custodian agencies, responsible for collecting and
reporting on country-by-country energy indicators for
reporting on SDG7. This report tracks global, regional and
country progress on the four targets of SDG7: energy access
(electricity, clean fuels and technologies for cooking),
renewable energy and energy efficiency, based on statistical
indicators endorsed by the UN. The report updates progress
with the latest available data up to 2016 for energy access,
and 2015 for clean energy, against a baseline year of 2010.
A longer historical period back to 1990 is also provided by
way of reference. The Energy Progress Report is a successor
to the earlier Global Tracking Framework (published in 2013,
2015 and 2017), which was co-led by the IEA and World Bank
under the auspices of the UN's Sustainable Energy for
All (SE4All) initiative, and builds on the same
methodological foundation.
