High-level Launch of Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2025 and the SDG7 Policy Briefs 2025 (HLPF 2025 Side Event).


With less than six years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world must urgently accelerate progress. Energy is key to this: SDG7 on clean and affordable energy is one of the SDGs with the biggest potential for positive impact on the other SDGs. Realising this potential requires approaches and solutions that focus on interlinkages.

In recognition of the importance of energy, the UN General Assembly in 2024 extended the UN Decade of Sustainable Energy for All to 2030, renewing the global mandate for coordinated and intensified efforts to achieve SDG7. Against this backdrop, the 2025 High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) will feature the joint launch of two pivotal knowledge products:


• Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2025 - the global dashboard on energy progress, and

• SDG7 Policy Briefs in Support of the HLPF 2025 - this year's compilation of SDG7 Policy Briefs focuses on interlinkages with SDG3 (Health), SDG5 (Gender Equality), SDG8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), as well as on the unique challenges and priorities of the LDCs, LLDCs, and SIDS.


The Tracking Report, developed by the SDG7 Indicator Custodian Agencies (IEA, IRENA, UN Statistics at DESA, World Bank, and WHO), provides the most authoritative assessment of global trends in electricity access, clean cooking, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. The SDG7 Policy Briefs, compiled by the multi-stakeholder SDG7 Technical Advisory Group convened by UN DESA, offer actionable, evidence-based recommendations to accelerate a just, inclusive, and integrated approach to achieving SDG7 and related goals.
