Abstract
Ending energy poverty by delivering scalable, resilient, efficient, and affordable low-carbon and sustainable energy is among the set of global priorities on track to be integrated within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This new international development agenda is driving public and private investment, regional and international coordination, and legal and regulatory innovations. This article discusses the global investment framework for public and private financing of energy projects, new cross-border market integration schemes, and the outlook for cultivating energy access, energy efficiency, and an increased share of renewable energy through 2030. The article appeared in a special edition of International Law News on sustainable development and supported the work of the American Bar Association (ABA) Presidential Task Force on Sustainable Development.
