Global Tracking Framework

The Global Tracking Framework establishes a baseline and monitoring system for the SE4ALL 2030 goals. While the world saw significant gains between 1990 and 2010, population and economic growth have diluted these impacts, making 'business as usual' insufficient. Achieving the goals will require an additional $600–800 billion in annual investment, bold policy shifts such as phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, and critical progress in 'high-impact' countries, particularly China and India.

• The SE4ALL initiative has three global objectives for 2030: ensuring universal access to modern energy services (electricity and clean cooking), doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency, and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
• Between 1990 and 2010, the world saw 1.7 billion more people gain electricity and 1.6 billion gain access to non-solid cooking fuels, but these gains were nearly offset by a global population growth rate of 1.3 percent per year.
• To meet 2030 targets, electricity and non-solid fuel access must rise from 2010 levels of 83% and 59% to 100%; energy intensity improvement must increase from -1.3% to -2.6%; and the renewable energy share must rise from at most 18% to 36%.
• Global success depends on 'high-impact' countries: two groups of 20 countries in Asia and Africa account for two-thirds of the electrification deficit and four-fifths of the non-solid fuel deficit, while 20 high-income and emerging economies account for four-fifths of global energy consumption.
• Current trends are insufficient; 'business as usual' would leave 12% of the population without electricity and 31% without modern cooking solutions by 2030.
• Achieving the SE4ALL objectives requires an estimated annual investment of $600–800 billion above existing levels, representing a doubling or tripling of current financial flows, with the majority directed toward energy efficiency and renewables.
• Simultaneously meeting the renewable energy and energy efficiency objectives increases the probability of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius to between 66 and 90 percent.
