9 SDG 7 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all Major challenge in Germany Implementation of the Energy Transition (Energiewende), providing a framework for sustainable energy policies. Target triangle example: SDG 7-Energy Economy 1 Price level stabiliy Appropriate public spending Equal distribution of labor High regional selfsufficiency Balanced economic structure Implementation/ impact until 2020 > Reduce energy consumption by 20% (2008 base), > Raise share of renewables in electricity consumption to 35%, > Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40% (2008 base). Adequate private consumption Impacts on other countries/ global responsibility Energy Transition is key component of climate policy and implemented e. g. through Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP), Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility (GRMF).
