I4E: DRE Impact on SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have significantly shaped global efforts to address urgent issues and create a fairer, more sustainable future. Among these goals, SDG 7, which focuses on ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy, stands out as a crucial objective and a cornerstone to achieve the rest of the SDGs. Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) solutions play an essential role in expanding energy access globally, especially in areas where traditional grid expansion is challenging or economically unfeasible.
DRE addresses a broad spectrum of challenges, including alleviating poverty and hunger (SDGs 1 and 2), enhancing healthcare services (SDG 3), promoting education (SDG 4), advancing gender equality (SDG 5), ensuring access to clean water (SDG 6), and driving climate action (SDG 13). Maximising the adoption of DRE creates positive ripple effects across other SDGs.
In this ARE I4E showcase webinar, ARE will shed a light on contributions from DRE companies towards achieving the SDGs. The aim is to unite experts, allowing them to present the impact of their DRE interventions on SDGs and engage the audience through a compelling Q&A session.
