Urgent action needed for clean energy for all by 2030: UN member states
Over 20 ministerial-level “Global Champions” from the UN member states have issued messages, calling for urgent action to achieve affordable, clean energy for all by 2030.
The messages were issued on Wednesday as the UN is launching a year of accelerated action, kicking off substantive preparations for heads of state and government high-level dialogue on energy in September.
The messages and virtual launch mark the start of deliberations by five Technical Working Groups that together will prepare a global roadmap for achieving affordable and clean energy for all (SDG 7) by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050, to inform the Dialogue, a summit-level meeting to be convened by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
