Energy sector is a key area with a systemic impact for development transition of Arab countries. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a guiding framework and newopportunities for Arab countries to achieve development transformation,and is conducive to promoting the transformation of economic structures beyond energy dependence,the reconstruction of social order focusing on people’s livelihood issues,and the exploration of national governance paths led by sustainable development. According to the goals system of the United Nations2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,Arab countries should truly embrace the comprehensive,coordinated and sustainable development ideas,establish a development mechanism that is conducive to economic transformation, social inclusion and environmental sustainability, and promote governance capabilities for sustainable development. Thus Arab countries need to set priority development agendas in the three major areas of economy,society and environment according to their own development conditions.
