## Affordable and Clean Energy

- [Target 7.b](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-b-2/) - By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States and landlocked developing countries, in accordance with their respective programmes of support. CSO data Status: Fiscal support reducing 7.b.1 The value of the investments in Energy Efficiency
- [Target 7.a](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-a-2/) - By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology. CSO data Status: Fiscal support reducing 7.a.1 In 2019, clean energy research and development accounted for €5.117 million of ODA.
- [Target 7.3](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-3-2/) - By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency. CSO data Claim: Achieving 7.3.1 The primary and final energy intensity of the economy has been falling (reflecting improving energy productivity) since 2005, with the exception of 2008. Between 2005 and 2019 primary energy intensity of the economy fell by 49% (4.7% per annum)
- [Target 7.2](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-2-2/) - By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. CSO data Status: Not on track to achieve renewable energy targets 7.2.1 Overall renewable energy supply was 12% of gross final consumption in 2019. Ireland has a binding EU target of 16% by 2020. Ireland is not on track to meet
- [Target 7.1](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-1/) - By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services. CSO data Claim: Achieving 7.1.1 100% of households in Ireland have access to electricity 7.1.2 In 2016, 85.8% of Irish households were reliant on fossil fuels for their primary heating fuel, with 8.7% reliant on electricity and 2.0% on renewables (wood). There was
- [Target 7.b](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-b/) - In 2021, there was a record-breaking installation of 268 Watts per capita of renewable capacity in developing countries, representing a year-on-year growth rate of 9.8%. However, even with this positive and accelerating growth, developing countries are not on track to meet SDG7 by 2030. Moreover, the positive global and regional trends hide the fact that
- [Target 7.a](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-a/) - International public financial flows in support of clean energy in developing countries have a decreasing trend that started before the COVID-19 pandemic and continued through 2021. In 2021, they amounted to $10.8 billion— an 11% drop from 2020. This was 35% less than the 2010–19 decade-long average, and less than half the 2017 peak of
- [Target 7.3](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-3/) - The rate of improvement in primary energy intensity, which had already slowed in recent years, dropped to 0.6% in 2020. This makes it the worst year for energy intensity improvement since the global financial crisis. Annual improvement through 2030 must now average 3.4% to meet the target of SDG 7.3. This slowdown was influenced by
- [Target 7.2](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-2/) - The share of renewable sources in total final energy consumption amounted to 19.1% globally in 2020, or 2.4 percentage points higher than in 2015. Part of this progression is due to lower final energy demand in 2020, as the pandemic disrupted social and economic activities worldwide. The electricity sector shows the largest share of renewables
- [Target 7.1 <sup class ="target-sup">(ii)</sup>](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-1-ii/) - In 2021, 71% of the global population had access to clean cooking fuels and technologies, up from 64% in 2015. In seven (all located in sub-Saharan Africa) of the 20 countries with the largest deficits, fewer than 10% of the population had access to clean fuels and technologies. The growing access deficit in sub-Saharan Africa,
- [Target 7.1 <sup class ="target-sup">(i)</sup>](https://coalition2030.ie/affordable-and-clean/target-7-1i/) - The global population with access to electricity has increased from 87% in 2015 to 91% in 2021. The pace of electrification has rebounded between 2019 and 2021. However, the annual access growth of 0.6 percentage points in the recent period is lower than the 0.8 percentage points in 2015–19. As a result, 675 million people,

## Clean Water &amp; Sanitation

- [Target 6.4](https://coalition2030.ie/clean-water-san/target-6-4/) - By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity. CSO data Status: Level of water stress increasing 6.4.1 Change in water use efficiency over time - data for Ireland is currently being
- [Target 6.3](https://coalition2030.ie/clean-water-san/target-6-3-2/) - By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally. CSO data Status: Not achieving 6.3.1 By 2019, 98.6% of urban wastewater received at least primary treatment. 6.3.2 Good ambient water quality was
- [Target 6.b](https://coalition2030.ie/clean-water-san/target-6-b-2/) - Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management. CSO data Claim: Achieving 6.b.1 Across the water sector in Ireland there are many varied policies and procedures for the participation of local communities in water and sanitation management. There are many relevant organisations working in this area and details of
- [Target 6.a](https://coalition2030.ie/clean-water-san/target-6-a-2/) - By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies.
