Hundreds of Energy Leaders and Experts Join Action Forum to Expand Initiatives on Energy Access and Transition
Three days of intensive discussions on how to scale up action on energy access and transition wrapped up on 27 September with many promising ideas to carry forward, as the EnergyNow SDG7 Action Forum concluded in New York. The event, organized by UN-Energy, convened hundreds of energy leaders, experts and activists -- from Government Ministers to investment strategists and gender specialists -- to share experiences and present initiatives for partnership, on the margins of the UN General Assembly high-level week.
The third edition of the Energy Compacts Annual Progress Report was launched at the high-level opening, showing that the Compacts continue to grow in number and impact, with new commitments to boost renewable energy and increase access to electricity and clean cooking technologies by 2030 bringing the finance and investment pledged through the Compacts to US$ 1.4 trillion. The Action Forum highlighted progress on several Energy Compacts including 24/7 carbon free energy; green hydrogen; gender and energy; the SICA regional compact for Central America; and the Sustainable Water and Energy Solutions Network.
