Meet the WISIONS Team at the SE4All Forum in New York City
The WISIONS team will participate in the second Sustainable Energy For All Forum from 18 – 21 May 2015 in New York City, USA. Last year’s forum officially launched the United Nations “Decade of Sustainable Energy for All 2014-2024”, as declared by the UN General Assembly, and brought together nearly 1000 participants from government, international organizations, business and civil society.
The theme of this year’s Forum is “Financing Sustainable Energy for All”, including the launch of a new “Global Sustainable Energy for All Commitment Platform”. Moreover, the Forum will also feature the first Global Energy Ministerial Dialogue at the United Nations, in order to reaffirm the Rio+20 determination “to act to make sustainable energy for all a reality”, and an Advisory Board meeting, co-convened by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim.
In focusing on how to act, the Forum will include a range of solution-oriented multi-stakeholder sessions for SE4ALL partners from all over the world, and from a variety of sectors. It will also offer new approaches to track progress towards 2030 based on the 2nd biennial Sustainable Energy for All Global Tracking Framework.
More information on the programme and sessions is available in this Agenda. If you would like to attend, you may still register here.
