Advancing SDG7 in Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries, and Small Island Developing States
Publication Year: 2025 Publisher: UNITED NATIONSBackground
For the least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and small island developing states (SIDS), closing the energy access gap, transitioning to decarbonized energy systems, and climate-resilience remain major challenges. Without urgent and scaled-up efforts in these countries, the world will fall short of its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 target of universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services by 2030.
