UN-Energy
Context
SEforALL started as a UN initiative, and although we are now an independent organization, we have retained an abiding connection to the UN given our unique mandate to drive action on Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7).
This connection is reinforced through a multi-year partnership agreement with the UN, our role as a partner agency of UN-Energy and by the ongoing appointment of our CEO as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All, and since 2018, as the co-chair of UN-Energy.
UN-Energy is the principal mechanism within the UN system for inter-agency collaboration on energy. It has entered a new phase as it reinvigorates and revitalizes its role: through a recent pledge, UN-Energy now aims to make rapid strides towards ending energy poverty and advancing the global energy transition.
The outcomes of the 2021 UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy, including the Secretary-General's roadmap, offer a clear path for UN-Energy to support enhanced action on SDG7.
We were an integral part of the 2021 UN High-level Dialogue on Energy Secretariat, playing a leading role in the development, coordination and outreach for Energy Compacts. We continue to serve as a focal point for all aspects of the Energy Compacts, which are voluntary commitments to actions that accelerate the pace of delivery of SDG7.
