NEW YORK : Faced with the speedily accelerating impacts of climate change and urgent need to reduce carbon emissions from the energy sector, while ensuring that all people have access to electricity and clean energy, the UN is bringing together heads of state and government as well as leaders from business, foundations and other organisations on September 24 to mobilise commitments and actions.

The recommendations on energy access are part of a proposed global roadmap with concrete actions to achieve clean, affordable energy for all by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050 launched by the United Nations to set the groundwork for a large-scale mobilisation of commitments this year.

The High-level Dialogue on Energy, which will be convened by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the summit level at the request of the General Assembly, is an historic opportunity to close this gap, as the first gathering of leaders in more than 40 years at the UN solely devoted to energy issues.

As of early September, over 100 Energy Compacts have been submitted from organisations in over 26 countries, including: member states; businesses; UN and international organisations; foundations; financial institutions; regions and cities; and civil society groups, including several youth networks.
