Our Work

The development work being supported by the Energy and Environment programme aims to address Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7 of ensuring environmental sustainability. The targets established under this goal are:

  • Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes; reverse loss of environmental resources
  • Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss
  • Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation
