While the goal heading refers to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, references to ‘safe’, ‘clean’ and ‘sustainable’ energy are missing from the detail of the targets.
This goal has been significantly weakened in the final stages of the OWGs work and stakeholders have argued that previously included goals on phasing out fossil fuels subsidies and increasing the share of clean energy technologies (including sustainable biomass and advanced cookstoves) should be reinstated.
The inclusion of targets in these areas would strengthen both the environmental and social dimensions.
