Global Metadata
This table provides information on metadata for SDG indicators as defined by the United Nations Statistical Commission. Complete global metadata documentation on all indicators in Goal 7, unless otherwise noted, is provided by the UN Statistics Division.
| SDG Indicator Name | Energy intensity measured in terms of primary energy and GDP |
|---|---|
| SDG Target Addressed | By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency. |
| Definition of SDG Indicator | Primary energy intensity is obtained by dividing total primary energy supply over gross domestic product. Total primary energy supply, as defined by the IEA, is made up of production plus net imports minus international marine and aviation bunkers plus-stock changes. For international comparison purposes, GDP is measured in constant terms at purchasing power parity. |
| UN Designated Tier | 1 |

U.S. Metadata
This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from U.S. statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from U.S. statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other US-specific metadata information
| Method of computation for global SDG indicator | Calculated as energy consumption divided by U.S. gross domestic product in chained (2009) dollars |
