UN Report Records First Drop in Energy Access in Decade

The SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) custodian agencies have launched their annual progress report warning of a worsening global energy gap. The report reveals that 685 million people were without access to electricity in 2022 – 10 million more than in 2021. This is the first time the number of people without access to electricity increased in over a decade.
