CSO involvement in SDG-s monitoring SDG nr. 7 Energy

One BIG thanks to all of you for your inputs so far! On behalf of the Heinrich Boell Foundation, I would like to let you know that we will consolidate your inputs from this discussion and put them up for a vote in one week. This public vote will enable us to transparently select up to three topics to be discussed during the Civil Society Forum in Trieste in July 2017. Outcomes of these consultations and those of our discussions in Trieste will result in a Western Balkans CSO Declaration on Environment, Energy and Climate Change to be included in the overall CSO Declaration that will be presented to the WB Prime Ministers on the WB Summit on 12 July 2017.

So, your inputs remain really important. Please, consider that only those topics to be proposed by WB CSOs here in this consultative process will be discussed in Trieste and presented to the Prime Ministers. We are looking forward to your inputs!

I am a bit concerned about that SDG and its statement about "access to affordable, reliable, energy for all" because prices in this region are politically suppressed - instead of providing targeted subsidies for energy poor we end up subsidising all consumers and "reliable" is often used as a dog whistle for being anti renewables and therefore pro coal and pro nuclear. Is there measurement target or success indicator for the SDG?

targets: 7.1.1 Proportion of population with access to electricity
7.1.2 Proportion of population with primary reliance on clean fuels and technology
7.2.1 Renewable energy share in the total final energy consumption
7.3.1 Energy intensity measured in terms of primary energy and GDP

Thanks Kalterina. I am not as familiar with the SDGs as I was with the MDGs so excuse my continued asking of further questions. So there are 3 targets, do all Governments of the region have numbers which they have put beside them? are there concrete targets?

here are in detail targets and indicators.

Agenda 2030 for sustainable development is non-binding. Albania has started working and Lunching of the SDGs Baseline Report preparation.
for other countries of the region, I have no information

Thank you!
