Theme Report on Innovation, Technology and Data: Towards the Achievement of SDG 7 and Net-Zero Emissions
Bioeconomy

This report aims to align international action on energy innovation, technology development and deployment, and data collection and use with the achievement of SDG 7 by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The report provides an overview of the present status of energy innovation; it proposes actionable recommendations with priority results and action areas; and it assesses the catalytic impacts that such actions can have.

In preparation of the High-level Dialogue on Energy (New York, September 2021), Technical Working Groups made up of over 160 multi-stakeholder experts elaborated key policy recommendations and milestones. Each Working Group was led by 3-4 intergovernmental organizations with particular expertise in the respective area. The outcomes of these expert deliberations are captured in five Theme Reports.
