Abstract
An inclusive and just energy transition can catalyse transformational co-benefits for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Energy is inextricably linked to virtually all the SDGs, and at the same time progress made towards achieving advancement of the other SDGs can also contribute to achieving SDG 7. Transforming the world’s energy systems will create new jobs, advance gender equality, and empower people, communities, and societies. Based on the concept of leaving no one behind', a just and inclusive energy transition will enhance human well-being, health, and capabilities, increase resilience, and drive innovation towards a sustainable society at all levels, while also driving huge investments. Although the transition pathways will vary based on the individual needs of countries and regions, all pathways must be just and inclusive in order to accelerate collective actions to deliver on the SDGs and the Paris Agreement and to ensure the ‘future we want’.
