Aim
By 2030, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed animals and their related wild species, including through managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels. Promote access to fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed.
Increase investment, including international cooperation, in rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services, technology development and plant and livestock gene banks in order to improve agricultural productive capacity in developing countries, and particularly in least developed countries.
By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems, implement resilient agricultural practises that : increase food productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, and strengthen the ability to adapt agriculture to climate change, extreme weather, flooding, drought and other disasters. Resilient agricultural practises will progressively improve land and soil quality.
Facts and figures
Targets
- By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services
- By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix
Resource stewardship - in 2017, the share of energy renewables in total energy consumption reached 17%. Energy efficiency improvement rate falls short of 3% target (in 2017, it was 1.7%)
- By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency

Progress towards meeting the SDG 7
Aim
The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people–especially children–have sufficient and nutritious food all year.
SDG 7 recognizes that expanding access to electricity and other forms of energy is fundamental to improving people’s lives and communities. It aims for efficient energy use and the promotion of renewable sources of energy. The proportion of people worldwide with access to electricity and clean fuels has increased substantially over the past decade. The global electrification rate rose, from 83% in 2010 to 90% by 2018. 63 percent had access to clean fuels and technology for cooking, up from 55%. In addition, the renewable energy share of total final energy consumption gradually increased, from 16.3 per cent in 2010 to 17.0 per cent in 2015 and 17.3 per cent in 2017. However, much faster growth is required to meet long-term climate goals. Also, people without access to electricity are increasingly concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is due to rapid population that limits the achievement of complete access to electricity because the electrification rate is much smaller than the growing demand for electricity. Furthermore, the access rate climbed from 34 percent in 2010 to 47 percent in 2018. Furthermore, global primary energy intensity (the energy used per unit of GDP) improved by 2.2 per cent annually, from 5.2 per cent in 2015 to 5.0 per cent in 2017, but was still short of the 2.7 per cent annual rate needed to reach target 7.3. In conclusion, for all the benefits that energy brings, we remain heavily dependent on the combustion of nonrenewable fossil fuels—the major driver of climate change. Even as access expands, the substantial work of decarbonizing the world's existing energy systems must accelerate.
Aim
It aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030.

If recent trends continue, the number of people affected by hunger will surpass 840 million by 2030, or 9.8 percent of the global population.
In 2019, close to 750 million – or nearly one in ten people in the world – were exposed to severe levels of food insecurity.
8.9% of the world population were hungry (in 2018)

Owing to the pandemic, some 370 million schoolchildren are missing the free school meals that they rely on. Measures to strengthen food production and distribution systems must be taken immediately to mitigate and minimize the impacts of the pandemic.
An estimated 26.4 per cent of the world population, about 2 billion persons, were affected by moderate or severe food insecurity in 2018, an increase from 23.2 per cent in 2014, owing mainly to increases in food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Slightly more than 700 million persons, or 9.2 per cent of the world population, experienced severe food insecurity in 2018, implying reductions in the quantity of food consumed to the extent that they possibly experienced hunger.
The proportion of children under 5 years of age suffering from chronic undernutrition, as well as stunting (being too short for one’s age), decreased, from 23.1 per cent in 2015 to 21.3 per cent in 2019.
Globally, 47 million children under 5 years of age, or 6.9 per cent, were affected by acute undernutrition or wasting (low weight for one’s height) in 2019 conditions generally caused by limited nutrient intake and infection.
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

SDG 14 – Life below Water: Preventing waste generation and leakages from land- based activities through circular economy practices will directly reduce waste entering the oceans. This also includes recovery of nutrients from waste water streams before entering oceans. Additionally, circular economy contribution to tackling climate change will indirectly reduce ocean acidification.

The ocean is the planet’s largest carbon sink, absorbing around 23 per cent of annual CO2 emissions generated by human activity and helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change
However, the absorbed CO2 has caused seawater to become more acidic, evidenced by a 26 per cent drop in pH levels since pre-industrial times. Ocean acidification endangers coral reefs and other key species that are the base of the marine food chain, and has negative effects on marine ecosystem services, including fisheries and aquaculture, coastal protection, transportation and tourism. The more acidic the ocean becomes, the lower its capacity to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and to moderate climate change.
Aims to promote the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resource.

Countries have made good progress overall in carrying out the recommended measures to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. In 2020, close to 75 per cent scored high in their degree of implementation of relevant international instruments, compared with 70 per cent in 2018. But while impressive progress has been made, further concerted global action is required to ensure that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing no longer represents a threat to the sustainability of fisheries worldwide.
✏
The proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels decreased from 90.0 per cent in 1974 to 66.7 per cent in 2015 and 65.8 per cent in 2017. Despite this continued deterioration, the rate of decline has slowed in recent years. While encouraging, this will not be enough to prevent a medium-term collapse of certain global fisheries unless measures are more widely adopted to restore stocks to biologically sustainable levels
