All Sustainable Development Goals
What is SDG 7?
SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda. It aims to ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy, and it covers renewable power, energy efficiency, and the systems needed to bring electricity and clean fuels to communities that lack them.
What do clean energy nonprofits do?
Clean energy nonprofits work on getting affordable, reliable power to households and communities that lack it. Typical work includes:
- Installing off-grid and rooftop solar for homes, schools, and clinics
- Distributing clean cookstoves and promoting clean cooking fuels
- Building and maintaining community energy projects such as local mini-grids
- Training local technicians to install and repair solar and other energy systems
- Helping low-income households afford connections, lighting, and appliances
- Advocating for policies that make clean, renewable energy accessible to all
Solar charities and other energy access organizations range from technical implementers to advocacy groups, and many combine both.
How to check a clean energy nonprofit before you give
The same rules apply to clean energy nonprofits as to any other charity: confirm the organization is registered, read its integrity assessment (it measures disclosure, not impact), look at its filings, and check who runs it. Every organization listed here has a profile with exactly that. The five-step walkthrough is in our guide for donors.
