CONTRIBUTION OF LITHIUM RESOURCES IN AFGHANISTAN ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 7 - AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
Today, lithium is essential for sustainable energy, combating climate change, reducing poverty, and fostering economic progress worldwide, but particularly in Afghanistan, where the major mines are located in a variety of provinces including Nuristan, Ghazni, Herat, and others. How can we then extract it in order to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include reducing poverty and promoting clean energy, global warming, and other issues? Since affordable and clean energy is target number seven of the United Nations' 17 sustainable development goals, this paper will examine prior studies on the significance and reserves of lithium in Afghanistan. This study discovered that the finest security environment and strategic location of Afghanistan today make it possible for investors to invest in this industry in order to meet several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including access to affordable and clean energy.
