Ai Chairs UN Ministerial High-Level Dialogue on Energy

The week of the High-Level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE) Ministerial Thematic Forums wrapped up on 25 June 2021 with Grand Closing messages from the HLDE Secretary-General, UN Under-Secretary-General Liu Zhenmin, and the HLDE Co-Chairs, Achim Steiner, Administrator, UN Development Programme (UNDP), and Damilola Ogunbiyi, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL).Steiner said the week had made clear that the energy revolution has begun, but it remains to be seen is how fast and fair it will be. He urged everyone to not let the opportunity to properly shape that future slip away. Ogunbiyi detailed the energy compacts announced or previewed during the week and called for more before the HLDE, offering her team’s help in preparing the compacts. Liu said the five Theme Reports launched during the week “have shown us where we must go” and provided clear recommendations and targets for the HLDE to consider, while the energy compacts announced have demonstrated “new levels of action and commitment to delivering the sustainable energy goals.” He called for all parties to demonstrate the political will to deliver clean, sustainable and affordable energy for all by 2030.
