Abstract

The 2030 Development Agenda stated that by 2030 and beyond the Member States will be able to have “affordable and clean energy” [1] globally. So, if this is the Global aim, then it is vital to provide a better understanding on the relationship between how “ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” (UNDP, 2015) [1] would benefit health, well-being, sustainable development and sustainability planet, positively. Not only that this state-of-the-art idea is critical for researchers and scientists in the energy sector and across the world to understand this concept completely, but also there is a need to fill in this gap in knowledge and needs for research in the literature. This paper uses the theoretical lens of climate change and public health perspectives to establish the links between Sustainable Energy (e.g., Energy Efficiency [EE] and Renewable Energy [RE]) and three Sustainable Energy (EE & RE) indicators: health, well-being and sustainability. This establishment is pivotal because it will contribute significantly to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from 2020 to 2030.
