Despite yearly gains in clean and affordable energy, electricity production remains a key driver of climate change, producing 60% of greenhouse gas emissions per year. Despite this, a large share of humanity remains without access to reliable electricity.
Learn how you can tackle these issues by joining the Affordable Energy Lab, part of Prepr’s Sustainable Innovation Lab series.
This UNESCO goal aims for universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services by 2030, as well as a substantial pivot to renewable energy. This goal also targets adoption of efficient and sustainable energy sources, especially in developing nations.
