Ministerial-level Thematic Forums

 

WATCH ON UNTV

 

Ministerial-level Thematic Forums brought together key stakeholders virtually over five days, 21-25 June 2021, to mobilize actions as a major milestone on the road to the High-level Dialogue on Energy in September 2021.

Over 50 Ministers from national governments and leaders from business, cities, civil society and youth organizations and other stakeholders had the opportunity to showcase solutions and partnerships on each priority theme and present their Energy Compacts, setting out their voluntary commitments and actions. Over 25 Energy Compacts were previewed, presenting a wide range of ambitious commitments.

Reports detailing recommendations for action needed on each of the five priority themes were officially launched at each Forum by the Technical Working Group co-lead organizations. Together these five reports comprise a proposed global roadmap for achieving affordable and clean energy for all by 2030, on the road to net-zero emissions by 2050.

SDG7 Action Zones provided space for 80 of side events where Energy Compacts were featured, bringing together interested partners.
