UN Calls for Global Focus on Energy Initiativ e
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently launched a pioneering new initiative to mobilize urgent global action to achieve Sustainable Energy for All by 2030. The Initiative has three objectives critical to powering sustainable development:
- Expand energy access
- Improve energy efficiency
- Increase the use of renewables
In his keynote address to the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, the Secretary-General called on governments, the private sector, and civil society to make significant commitments to action in support of his Sustainable Energy for All Initiative. His call to action underscores the importance of energy to sustainable development, and contributes to the global launch of 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All.
