Sustainable Energy for ALL: 1 Goal & 3 Objectives

Sustainable Energy for All by 2030

Why “Sustainable Energy”?

The three objectives of SE4ALL could provide an important entry point to climate change mitigation, keeping the world below a maximum average 2 degrees Celsius temperature rise.

Sustainability and poverty eradication can go hand in hand with mitigating climate risks through the unique multi-stakeholder platform of SE4ALL.

• “Energy is the golden thread that connects economic growth, increased social equity and an environment that allows the world to thrive.”

-- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

• “Ending poverty and ensuring sustainability are the defining challenges of our time. Energy is central to both.”

-- Jim Yong Kim - World Bank Group President

What makes this initiative different?

2. Why Sustainable Energy is so important for Sustainable Development

Lessons from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

• The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty, set out a series of time-bound targets with a deadline of 2015. After the declaration of the MDGs, the absolute volume of aid increased.

• However, the urgent need for universal access to modern energy services, improved energy efficiency and expansion of renewable energy supply was neglected.

• Reliable, affordable and sustainable energy supply is a prerequisite for sustainable development.

Importance of Sustainable Energy for Sustainable Development

Globally, 1.3 billion people do not have access to electricity, and more than 95% of these people are either in sub-Saharan Africa or developing Asia.

2.6 billion people still burn wood, dung, coal and other traditional fuels inside their homes, resulting in 1.5 million deaths per year.

Extensive energy use, especially in high-income countries, creates pollution, emits greenhouse gases and depletes non-renewable fossil fuels.

The scarcity of energy resources will grow ever greater. By 2050, when the planet reaches around 9 billion people, there will be 2 billion more people using more energy.

Goal 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all Goal 8 Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Goal 9 Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

Goal 10 Reduce inequality within and among countries

Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Goal 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Goal 13 Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

Goal 14 Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Goal 15 Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Goal 16 Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

Goal 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

Post-2015 Development Agenda

Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all

TARGETS Proposed Indicators

7.1.By 2030 ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services.

7.1.1. Percentage of population with electricity access (%) 7.1.2. Percentage of population with primary reliance on non-solid fuels (%)

7.1.3. Share of household income spent on fuel and electricity (Affordability) (%) 7.1.4. Number of hours per year affected by energy outages (Reliability)

7.2. Increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030.

7.2.1. Renewable energy share in the total final energy consumption (%)

7.3. Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030

7.3.1. Rate of improvement in energy intensity (%) measured in primary energy terms and GDP at purchasing power parity

7.a. By 2030 enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technologies, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and advanced and cleaner fossil fuel technologies, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technologies

7.b. By 2030 expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, particularly LDCs and SIDS

SE4ALL goals and indicators closely match proposed post-2015

Achievement of Global Climate

Goals

• SE4ALL’s Global EE Accelerator Platform can deliver 50% of the emission reductions required to put the world on a 2-degree pathway by 2020 (IEA)

• Targeted EE measures can reduce emissions by 1.5 Gt while generating USD 250-350 billion in savings each year (UNEP)

• USD 8.2 trillion investments in EE are more than offset by the fuel cost savings of USD 10.6 trillion leading to a global economic boost of USD 11.4 trillion (2012 – 2030) (IEA)

(4) Ensure Women’s Health : Energy – Women – Health HIO

21

• The SE4ALL will add values in it by;

Providing a unique opportunity to

address the nexus between energy

and women’s health in a tangible,

scalable, sustainable way through a

concerted multi-stakeholder effort.

Prioritizing an inter-ministerial

approach, to advocate for the

inclusion of specific energy and

women’s health targets within national

energy plans and to channel

government action.

Stimulating economic growth and

provide business opportunities for

sustainable energy services within

health facilities globally.

Approximately 50 High Impact Opportunities(HIOs) have been identified by the SE4ALL.
