Renewable energy capacity has more than doubled in small island developing states between 2014 and 2022.
Climate change, combined with recent geopolitical developments, has sent shockwaves throughout the global economy, magnifying concerns around energy security, food security and weather-related disasters. Small island developing states (SIDS), which are amongst the lowest emitters worldwide, are most at risk from these potential threats. However, they are increasingly employing ambitious plans to deploy renewable energy in order to secure its multiple benefits.
This technical paper presents a quantification of SIDS’ renewable energy targets, both in their national energy plans and in their NDCs, comparing commitments made within their national policies and plans with those that extend to the Paris Agreement framework. The conditionality of commitments is explored, where applicable highlighting the urgent need to mobilize international support to SIDS in the form of financing, technology transfer and technical assistance, to help meet their renewable energy commitments.

Bringing Renewable Energy to Local Farmers.
Eco-innovative farming solutions are vital to ensuring the
global reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to
agriculture. Biodôme du Maroc, a small, fast-growing Moroccan
company, provides local farmers with a technology that gives
them access to renewable energy for on-farm use.
Founded in 2013 by Dr. Fatima Zahra Beraich, Biodôme du Maroc
is the first Moroccan company to specialize in the recovery of
organic waste through natural treatment and environmentally
friendly processes. This is to enable farmers in rural areas to
produce biogas and fertilizer.
For the environment, biogas helps to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions from abandoned organic waste and minimizes the risk
of polluting waterways. This “clean” method of energy production
also reduces reliance on wood as a fuel source.
Biodôme du Maroc offers a range of small-scale agricultural
anaerobic digesters. These digesters use a simple and innovative
system to produce biogas and recover organic matter. Inside
underground concrete enclosures, farmers can deposit different
kinds of organic waste, such as household, plant and animal waste,
which is fermented in a biological accelerator. In this process, gas
is produced through methanization or anaerobic bio-digestion,
where bacteria naturally break down organic matter within weeks.
By providing a technology that produces gas from organic waste, Biodôme du Maroc gives local farmers access to renewable energy for agricultural production.
Dr. Beraich currently holds six patents covering innovations that
improve the efficiency and performance of Biodômeʼs bio-digesters.
“The process of securing a patent means that our technology
is evaluated by experts and allows us to understand just how
different our inventions are from other competing technologies.
This allows us to protect the inventive characteristics of our
outputs,” explains Dr. Beraich. “With these patents in hand, we
hope to be able to license our more recent patented innovations.”
The support of the Moroccan Association for Research and
Development (R&D Maroc) – part of the network of Technology and
Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) in Morocco – has played a critical role in the success of Biodôme du Maroc. “I learned about the TISC network at an outreach event at the University organized by the
Moroccan Industrial and Commercial Property Office,” Dr. Beraich
explains. R&D Maroc helped Dr. Beraich secure seed funding and also
ensured she had the help she needed to draft her patent applications, and license and access the technology she required to create and commercialize her bio-digesters. Biodôme is currently marketing its patent-protected bio-digesters in Morocco and across Africa.

Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2023 & SDG7 Policy Briefs 2023 of SDG7 reports (HLPF 2023 Special Event).
The Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report provides the most comprehensive look available at the world's progress towards global energy targets on access to electricity, clean cooking, renewable energy, and energy efficiency and gives the international community the latest global dashboard to register progress on the SDG7 targets. The report is prepared by the SDG7 Indicator Custodian Agencies - the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), UN DESA, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Policy Briefs on SDG7, compiled by the multi-stakeholder SDG7 Technical Advisory Group, convened by UN DESA, focus on recommendations for advancing SDG7. In addition to six regional analyses of SDG7 progress, the policy briefs include analysis on energy's interlinkages with other SDGs and on a common framework for a just energy transition.
Together, these reports present a set of recommendations essential for implementing the Global Roadmap for Accelerated SDG7 Action delivered as an outcome of the High-level Dialogue on Energy in 2021. This year's review of SDG7 will help inform the SDG Summit to strengthen political commitment and scale up action, including by expanding Energy Compacts as one of the High-Impact Initiatives in support of the SDG Summit. It will also provide insights in support of a Global Stocktaking on SDG7 Implementation to take place in 2024, as mandated by the UN General Assembly.

The costs of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
The SDG costing project fills a data gap by showing how much is needed to accelerate sustainable development. The calculations cover 48 developing economies, including nine landlocked developing countries, eight small island developing states and six least developed countries. The data covers 68% of the people living in developing economies worldwide.
The numbers underscore a sense of urgency: Act now or face higher costs later. Each year that passes without adequate SDG financing increases the spending needed by 2030 and lowers our chances of success.

Ensure Access to Affordable, Reliable, Sustainable, and Modern Energy.
SDG7 aims to 'ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.' Meeting the demands of the 2030 agenda will be a unique challenge. National priorities and policy action need to be strengthened in order to fulfil the ambitious energy targets which SDG7 envisions. This book examines SDG7 and its implications for how energy operates as a driver of change for jobs, security, climate change, food production and increasing incomes. It provides a succinct overview of how SDG7 visualizes a world in which energy is universally accessible, increasingly efficient and renewable in order to create sustainable, inclusive and resilient communities. The key challenges such as public and private investment, regulatory frameworks and evolving business models are also considered so that a path forward towards the achievement of the goal and the transformation of global energy systems might become clear.
Concise Guides to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals comprises 17 short books, each examining one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The series provides an integrated assessment of the SDGs from economic, legal, social, environmental and cultural perspectives.
