Empower Growth

Clean Energy. Real Opportunity. A Brighter Future for All.

With access to clean, reliable power, communities thrive, industries grow and people prosper.

SEforALL works to accelerate the energy transition in developing countries around the world.

EmPower is our multi-year global call to action that will lead us to 2030: to expand energy access and unlock the full potential of the green industrialization — to EmPower Growth for people, businesses and economies.

Why This Campaign, Why Now?

The world is accelerating toward a new industrial era, one powered by clean energy, innovation and inclusive growth.

For the private sector, this is the moment to lead, to drive sustainable investment, scale breakthrough solutions and open new markets in the transition to a low-carbon economy.

By empowering people with the energy they need to learn, work and create, we lay the foundation for industries that are resilient, future-ready and equitable – and for communities everywhere to prosper.

 

30 million new green jobs by 2030

The clean energy transition is the biggest opportunity for economic growth, building skills, industries and economies that thrive everywhere.
