Abstract: Clean energy for a sustainable future (Sustainable Development Goal 7(SDG 7)) emphasizes enduring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Energy is a crucial driver of economic growth, industrial development, and human well-being, yet the world still faces challenges such as dependence on fossil fuels, rising carbon emission, and unequal energy access. The transition towards renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, and biomass is not only vital for reducing greenhouse gas emission but also poverty and fostering sustainable economic development. It explores the role of renewable energy adoption in achieving SDG 7, with a focus on its environmental, social, and economic impacts. Furthermore, it discusses barriers such as high initial coasts, lack of infrastructure, and policy challenges, while suggesting solutions including government incentives, technological innovations and international collaboration. The SDG 7 is not only about providing electricity but about transforming energy systems to be inclusive, sustainable, and climate friendly.
