Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) focuses on access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The hope is that its implementation will result in a much-needed energy transition. Nonetheless, its application, from a legal perspective, remains unclear given the aspirational nature of sustainable development goals. This article examines this issue using the Arab world as a case study. Despite the great effort in the international community’s establishment of the voluntary follow-up and review framework to facilitate these goals application, their actual execution in general and particularly SDG7 is subject to states willingness to amend their domestic regulations and policies or adopt new ones.

能源转型与可持续发展目标 7：阿拉伯世界背景下的法律分析

可持续发展目标 7 (SDG7) 侧重于为所有人提供负担得起、可靠、可持续的现代能源。希望它的实施将导致急需的能源转型。尽管如此，鉴于可持续发展目标的理想性质，从法律角度来看，它的应用仍然不明确。本文以阿拉伯世界为案例研究这个问题。尽管国际社会在建立自愿跟进和审查框架以促进这些目标的应用方面做出了巨大努力，但它们的总体执行情况，特别是 SDG7 取决于各国是否愿意修改其国内法规和政策或采用新的法规和政策。
