Affordable and Clean Energy in the Pursuit of SDG 7

Abstract

According to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), having access to inexpensive, clean energy is essential to sustainable development. This research paper explores India's strategy for bridging the energy gap, emphasizing affordable and clean energy solutions, to align with the objectives of SDG 7. This research paper examines India's policy initiatives, renewable energy expansion, energy efficiency measures, and international collaborations as key components of its energy transition efforts. India, with its rapidly growing economy and population, faces significant challenges in meeting the energy demands of its citizens while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. By analyzing India's progress and challenges in this context, this paper aims to provide insights into how India can achieve sustainable energy development while addressing environmental concerns. It underscores the importance of a holistic approach that balances economic growth with environmental sustainability to address the global energy challenge.
