Sustainable Development Goalswith a focus on SDG7 Claire Morel, Statistics ProgrammeManager – IEA for EU4Energy Energy statistics national meeting, Chisinau, November 27th, 2018 IEA
Overview • SDGs and SDG7 • How is SDG7 monitored • Key message: the policy need for data
Energy has its own goal (SDG7) 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)
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.
SDG7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable & modern energy for all These four indicators have been classified “Tier 1”: good methods/good data
UN Secretary General report High-level monitoring tool to inform policy Energy statistics contribute
Global progress towards the energy targets https://www.iea.org/sdg/ Electricity, renewables, efficiency: need to ramp-up further; Clean cooking not on track
The policy need for data What data do we need? SDG links with national policies and data needs for monitoring
An opportunity to enhance data capacity globally Better tracking requires enhanced data collection capacity across countries
Key messages on tracking SDG7 and data needs SDG7 is raising profile of energy statistics globally – through a coherent framework that optimises use of available data (e.g. energy balances) Tracking SDG7 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).
