Book (stand-alone)Energy Challenge Badge 2019
Also available in:
Can you imagine living without energy? It’s impossible! Our lives literally are surrounded by energy, but we don’t often stop to think about why energy is so important. We use energy to cook our food, to heat or cool our homes, for light when it’s dark, to move around and much more. Globally, people are using more and more energy. However, right now, not everyone has all the energy they need. Meanwhile, most of the energy that people use comes from burning energy sources that are damaging our planet and our health. To promote access to clean and renewable energy for all people, the period 2014–2024 has been declared the “Decade of Sustainable Energy for All”. The United Nations (UN) has been actively fighting to eradicate poverty and encourage sustainable development. In 2014, the UN created Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to stimulate action in 17 areas and transform the world. One of the goals is dedicated to sustainable energy – Goal 7 to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all (p. 9). There is enough clean renewable energy in the world for everyone; however we need to plan and work together to make sure that everyone can get energy when and where they need it. -
