Under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), progress was made toward achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment, particularly in terms of girls’ primary education; yet discrimination and violence toward women and girls persist throughout the world. Energy (SDG 7), which was not a MDG, is now recognized as central to making progress on many of the other SDGs, including gender equality (SDG 5). The SDG 7 targets are consistent with the United Nations SE4All 2030 objectives: (i) ensuring universal access to electricity and modern cooking solutions, (ii) doubling the rate of improvement of energy efficiency, and (iii) doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. SE4All leads the support of SDG 7 implementation and monitors and reports on progress toward achieving that goal.
