UNSD: The 200 Integrated Indicator Framework
The primary purpose of the UNSD 200 Integrated Indicator Framework is to provide a standardized "common language" for tracking the entire lifecycle of energy to ensure global transparency and comparability. By organizing data into a logical sequence—from raw extraction and trade to transformation, final consumption, and environmental impact—the framework enables the United Nations and individual nations to monitor energy security, measure progress toward the SDG 7 clean energy goals, and evaluate the speed of the transition to a net-zero economy. Ultimately, it serves as a diagnostic tool for policymakers to balance the physical availability of energy with its economic affordability and its long-term impact on the planet.

The 200 Pillars of Global Energy Intelligence
The 200-indicator framework of the UNSD Energy Statistics system serves as a comprehensive "energy roadmap," tracking a fuel's lifecycle from its raw extraction in the ground (Indicators 1–14) through its industrial transformation into electricity or heat (Indicators 15–35), and ultimately to its final consumption by households and transport systems (Indicators 15–70). By integrating traditional commodity flows with modern socioeconomic and environmental metrics, the system evaluates the "quality" of a nation's energy progress through the lens of efficiency, affordability, and reliability (Indicators 71–180), while simultaneously benchmarking the speed of the global energy transition via cutting-edge digitalization, hydrogen, and carbon-neutral technologies (Indicators 181–200). Together, these indicators allow policymakers to measure the success of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement, ensuring that energy security is balanced with the urgent human need for a sustainable and equitable net-zero future.
