Part 1:Sustainable Development Goal 7 and Energy Poverty
SDG 7 aims to provide access to affordable electricity by 2030 which means investing in clean energy sources such as solar,wind and thermal.Although there is a great potential for renewable sources of energy, WE still rely on fossil fuels which are mainly to blame for greenhouse gas emissions which lead to drastic climate changes.Large numbers of people in developing countries and some people in developed countries are negatively affected by very low consumption of energy and the use of dirty or polluting fuels. The lack of access to modern energy services is called Energy Poverty and affects 1 in 7 people globally.
