By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix
By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency
By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology

Global goals become practical through local decisions.
The SDGs overlap across local housing, infrastructure, public services, environmental quality, economic opportunity and community participation. A single neighborhood decision can relate to several goals at the same time.
