Technologies for renewable energy are becoming more economical, reliable and effective every day. Our dependence on fossil fuels right now is both damaging to the environment and unsustainability in the long term, so we need a radical change in energy production and consumption. It is crucial to transition these new energy solutions immediately, making it possible to cope with big threats such as climate change.
THE TARGETS
UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO MODERN ENERGY
Guarantee global access to reasonable, reliable and up-to-date energy services by 2030.
INCREASE GLOBAL PERCENTAGE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
Increase significantly the share of sustainable energy in the worlwide energy mix by 2030.
DOUBLE THE IMPROVEMENT IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Twice the universal rate of development in energy proficiency by 2030.
PROMOTE ACCESS TO RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND INVESTMENTS IN CLEAN ENERGY
Strengthen global collaboration to enable access to eco-friendly energy technology and research, with eco-friendly energy, efficiency of energy more advanced and greener fossil-fuel technology, sustainable energy technology and promote funding in energy infrastructure.
EXPAND AND UPGRADE ENERGY SERVICES FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Widen developing and infrastructure technologies in order to provide renewable and up-to-date energy services in progressing nations — especially less developing nations, landlocked progressing nations and small island improving States — should be progressed, in line with their support programmes by 2030.
THINGS TO DO
Unplug your devices. Turn off lights when not in use.
Turn off your air conditioner, open windows, or use a fan, especially while sleeping.
Buy rechargeable electronic devices. Do not buy or use disposable batteries.
Do not use more than one device at a time. Be careful with this and only use multiple devices when absolutely necessary.
