17 Goals to Transform the World
Are a global plan to eradicate
poverty, protect the planet, and
ensure peace by 2030. They cover
areas like education, gender
equality, clean energy, climate
action, and ecosystem conservation.
The SDGs promote sustainable
practices, reduce inequalities, and
foster innovation, requiring
collaboration across governments,
businesses, and individuals.
A Case Study of France & TotalEnergies
Why France ?
1. Global Commitment to Sustainability
2. Domestic Energy Transition
3. International Solidarity
France
4. Addressing Misconceptions France, in Western Europe,
encompasses medieval
cities, alpine villages and
Mediterranean beaches.
Paris, its capital, is famed for
its fashion houses, classical
art museums including the
Louvre and monuments like
the Eiffel Tower.
1. Global Commitment
to Sustainability
As a UN member, France is obligated
to align with all 17 SDGs, including
SDG 7. This involves reducing reliance
on fossil fuels, increasing renewable
energy, and improving energy
efficiency globally. France’s leadership
in the 2015 Paris Agreement (which
aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C)
directly supports SDG 7’s climate-
related targets.
France has implemented policies to achieve
carbon neutrality by 2050 , such as:
Phasing out coal-fired power plants (targeting
closure by 2024).
Reducing nuclear energy’s share in its energy
mix (from 75% to 50% by 2035).
Expanding renewables (wind, solar, and
hydropower) to meet 33% of energy needs by
2030.
These efforts align with SDG 7’s goal of
ensuring clean, reliable energy for all.
3. International Solidarity
France supports energy access and sustainability in developing
countries through:
The French Development Agency (AFD) , which funds renewable
energy projects in Africa and Southeast Asia.
Initiatives like the International Solar Alliance and Climate Fund ,
which promote affordable energy solutions globally.
4. Addressing Misconceptions
While France already has near-
universal energy access, SDG 7
extends beyond electrification to
include energy efficiency ,
decarbonization , and global Tip
equity . Developed nations like When a number is too

Vision for 2050
Energy mix by 2050:
- 50% Renewable Electricity (~400 GW capacity).
- 25% Low-carbon molecules (biogas, hydrogen).
- Remaining fossil fuels offset or captured.
- Focus on a just and equitable energy transition globally.
Conclusion
TotalEnergies aligns its strategy with SDG Goal 7 through:
Renewable energy investments.
➔ Expanding clean energy access in developing regions.
➔ Reducing emissions across its operations and products.
➔ Challenges remain, but the company is making
measurable progress toward a sustainable future.
