Description
The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), with the support and collaboration of Energy Foundation China (EFC) and the Sustainable Development Policy Institute, assisted the Ministry of Power and Energy to analyse Pakistan’s energy sector and identify pathways toward achieving the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 7¬- ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all - and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledges under the Paris Agreement.
The Road Map contains a matrix of technological options and enabling policy measures for the Government to consider. It presents three core scenarios (business-as-usual, current-policies, and SDG achievement) along an ambitious power sector decarbonisation scenario. Scenarios have been developed using national data, considering existing energy policies and strategies, and reflecting on the nation’s other development plans. These evidence-based scenarios are expected to facilitate informed decisions toward the development and implementation of a set of policies and measures to achieve SDG7 by 2030, together with the NDC.
The launch of Pakistan’s National SDG7 Road Map occurred at the ESCAP and EFC jointly-organised COP27 side event, “Partnerships to Promote Sustainable Energy,” which highlighted outcomes of successful ESCAP-led partnerships, and opened a discussion on the collaborative models needed to effectively put national sustainable energy and decarbonisation road maps and plans into motion.
ESCAP has to-date supported the development of sixteen national and subnational roadmaps across the Asia-Pacific region.
