The SDGs include a universal set of 17 goals, 169 targets, and 232 unique indicators to help organizations monitor and assess their progress. The SDGs represent the priorities of governments, corporations, investors, and NGOs to enhance peace and prosperity, eradicate poverty and protect the planet.
Infrastructure companies, specifically renewable infrastructure entities, are well-positioned to contribute to the SDGs. We have witnessed an uptick in the number of companies that have made explicit and public commitments to advance the SDGs.
With the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projecting global energy demand to increase by nearly 50% by 2050, carbon emissions will continue to rise in the absence of continued investments and developments in renewable energy.
The growth in energy demand is in large part due to the global population, which the United Nations estimates will reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
Increasing the supply of renewable energy directly replaces carbon-intensive energy sources and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
In recent years, the renewable energy industry has undergone significant change. The advancement of renewable technologies and rapid reductions in cost have accelerated the deployment of renewable solutions.
