SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TOPS AGENDAS OF UN-BACKED FORUMS IN VIENNA,
RUSSIANew York, May 28 2013 5:00PMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon's
Sustainable Energy for All initiative should be integrated into a new
set of global targets for the period after the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) expire in 2015 according to a United Nations-backed forum
that started today in Austria.
"Energy is now recognized as a defining issue of our time,"
<"http://www.unido.org/media-centre/press-releases/news/article/date/2013/05/28/energy-must-be-fully-integrated-into-the-post-2015-development-agenda-say-vienna-energy-forum-parti.html">said
Kandeh K. Yumkella, the UN Special Representative for Sustainable
Energy for All, and the Director General of the UN Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO) which organized the three-day Vienna
Energy Forum along with Austrian authorities and the Intentional
Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA).
"The lack of access to energy is a crucial constraint for development
efforts. This is why the post-2015 framework should put in place a
clearly articulated, global, long-term goal on universal energy
access, supported by short-term targets and a robust monitoring and
reporting system," he added.
More than 1,500 participates are attending the forum. Mr. Yumkella
vowed that the organizers will work with the stakeholders "to achieve
sustainable energy for all and drive real action on the ground to help
transform lives, communities, economies and continents, and at the
same time protect the environment."
The Sustainable Energy for All initiative which the forum supports is
aimed at achieving three inter-linked global targets by 2030:
universal access to modern energy services; the doubling of energy
efficiency; and the doubling of the share of renewable energy in the
world's energy mix.
Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific countries are meeting in a four-day conference
on regional cooperation for enhanced security and sustainable use of
energy in Vladivostok, Russia, under the auspices of the UN Economic
and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The conference, which started on 27 May, is the first Asia-Pacific
region-wide intergovernmental ministerial meeting on energy convened
by the UN.
High-level participants include heads of government and ministers from
35 regional countries across the Asia-Pacific region are focusing on
access to energy, energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy and
environment, energy economics, trade and investment, and connectivity.
Business leaders and representatives of civil society are also
attending.May 28 2013 5:00PM
