The Second Annual UN Sustainable Energy for All Forum
With some of our partners (Practical Action, IRRI México, TERI and a coordinating member of the Hydro Empowerment Network), the WISIONS team participated in the Second Sustainable Energy For All Forum from 18 – 21 May 2015 in New York City, USA.
The Second SE4All Forum addressed the overarching theme of “Financing Sustainable Energy for All”, and included the launch of a new Global SE4All Commitment Platform and the first Global Energy Ministerial Dialogue at the UN.
More than 2500 participants attended the forum, collaborating in a diverse programme structured in line with these following four objectives: networking and outreach activities; parallel multi-stakeholder sessions; the Global Energy Ministerial Dialogue; and a closing session focusing on actions and commitments.
During the last session of the conference, more than 80 high-level representatives from energy ministries, business, civil society, multilateral agencies and international organisations, including the WISIONS initiative, outlined their leadership and action commitments aimed at achieving the SE4All objectives.
Full coverage of the whole programme and activities is available online at: Highlights of the SE4All Forum.
