Description

UN Decade of Sustainable Energy for All

Scotland today played host to the launch of a major UN initiative that aims to ensure sustainable energy for all by 2030.

Held to coincide with the start of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the European launch of the UN Decade of Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) 2014-2024 was held this afternoon in Glasgow as part of a trade, aid and sustainable energy focused event hosted by the Scottish Government.

Led by the UN Under-Secretary-General and Chief Executive of SE4ALL, Dr Kandeh Yumkella and hosted by Scotland’s International Development Minister Humza Yousaf, the event was attended by representatives of government, business, academia and civic society from across the Commonwealth.

The launch aimed to highlight the importance of energy for economic development, peace and security for both the developed and developing world. The event was a step towards achieving the vision set out by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, that by 2030 there will be universal access to modern energy services, a doubling in the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency, and a twice greater share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
