7.3 By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency

Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Energy intensity is defined as the total energy supplied to the economy per unit value of economic output. It is measured in Megajoules per United States Dollar. Energy intensity is an indication of how much energy is used to produce one unit of economic output. 

Energy intensity is an indication of how much energy is used to produce one unit of economic output. It is an inverse proxy of the efficiency with which an economy is able to use energy to produce economic output. A lower ratio indicates that less energy is used to produce one unit of output, so decreasing trends indicate progress.

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the measure of economic output. GDP it is the most important and frequently used aggregate of the System of National Accounts and is an indicator of total economic activity at the country level. GDP converted into dollars is one of the indicators used for international comparisons. The conversion of GDP into US dollars is carried out at the average annual exchange rate, which to a greater or lesser extent ensures the comparability of the converted data, depending on exchange rate movements in relation to movements in the general price level and other factors that are not related to real economic movements and affect the increase or decrease of the official exchange rate.

Energy intensity is expressed in megajoules per unit of purchasing power parity GDP in constant 2017 USD figures.

The indicator is calculated as the quotient of Total Energy Supply and Total GDP (in US dollars). For international comparability, GDP is expressed in purchasing power parities. Total energy supply, as defined by the International Recommendations for Energy Statistics (IRES): production + net imports - international marine and aviation bunkers +stock changes.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the measure of economic output. For international comparison purposes, GDP is measured in constant terms at purchasing power parity. GDP converted into dollars is one of the indicators used for international comparisons. The conversion of GDP into US dollars is carried out at an average annual exchange rate that, to a greater or lesser extent, ensures the comparability of the converted data, depending on the movement of exchange rates in relation to movements in the general price level and other factors that are not related to real economic movements and affect the increase or decrease of the official exchange rate. Gross domestic product (GDP) expressed in US dollars is obtained by dividing total GDP in dinars by the average annual exchange rate of the dollar.

An individual country can not calculate an indicator for itself, as purchasing power parities are used for calculating.
