claimEnergy efficiency by consumers reduces demand and wastage, thereby avoiding emissions, while efficiency in generation leads to less fuel consumption, lower emissions, and reduced environmental impact.
claimSustainable energy development is defined by four central goals derived from the Johannesburg and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) definitions: improving energy efficiency, improving energy security, reducing environmental impact, and expanding access, availability, and affordability.
claimSustainable energy development goals are categorized by dimension: improving energy efficiency and energy security correspond to the economic dimension, reducing environmental impact corresponds to the environmental dimension, and expanding access, availability, and affordability corresponds to the social dimension.
