Earlier this month, New Delhi 🇮🇳

The 1st Global South Convening on Clean Technology Minerals & Supply Chains.

10 sessions.
3 new reports.
One focus: resilient #cleanenergy supply chains.

Who helps young people see a future for themselves in #cleanenergy?

For Camila, it was the people she met along the way: mentors, energy leaders and women she could look up to.

This #YouthDay, read her story: https://t.co/suMNHtuab5

What does it take to find your place in the energy sector?

For Juliana, Camila and Jessica, it meant gaining new perspectives, confidence and a clearer sense of what comes next.

With over 1 billion people at high risk due to a lack of access to #cooling, more must be done!

I am happy to share with you a one-of-a-kind dashboard by @SEforALLorg that tracks populations at risk (2000 to 2025) & projects what we anticipate to 2030.

Energy Compacts are voluntary commitments to achieve #SDG7 and advance the clean energy transition.

Championed by the @UN @UN_Energy & @SEforALLorg they serve as actionable blueprints to achieve universal #energyaccess and net-zero emissions.

#Energyefficiency is the first fuel of the #energytransition, one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to boost energy security and cut emissions.

Find out how it can help emerging economies balance growth, affordability and climate goals.

#Ghana is on track to complete 13 of 16 priority reforms under its #Mission300 National Energy Compact.

Together with @AfDB_Group, we recently brought together national stakeholders to review progress and accelerate delivery.

Sierra Leone continues to make remarkable progress in rural #electrification.

The SOGREA initiative, funded by the @EU_Commission and Denmark, and implemented by @UNOPS and @SEforALLorg, is supporting the Government of #SierraLeone to scale even further.

As #heatwaves spread across the world, we are faced with a growing number of heat-related deaths.

@SEforALLorg's latest Chilling Prospects report shines a spotlight on the Global South and what it will take to ensure sustainable #cooling for all.

[Sustainable Energy for All @SEforALLorg]

Europe & North America are experiencing unprecedented #heatwaves.

In Sub-Saharan #Africa, South #Asia & Latin America, heat is not a seasonal event but a chronic condition, one that is getting worse, and where the deaths it causes go largely uncounted.

Today, on the International Day of Landlocked Developing Countries, we recognize the unique challenges facing 32 #LLDCs & the urgent need to accelerate #energyaccess.

In LLDCs, 215 million people still live without electricity, while over 350 million rely on biomass for cooking.

[Sustainable Energy for All @SEforALLorg]

For the 4th year, @SEforALLorg joined the Energy Modelling Platform Global Training School at @ictpPWF 🇮🇹.

We trained 13 participants in geospatial #cleancooking planning, strengthening energy planning capacity needed to deliver #Mission300 Compacts.

This week in New Delhi 🇮🇳

The 1st India-Global South Convening on Clean Technology Minerals & Supply Chains brings together leaders from govt., industry & state enterprises across #Asia, #Africa & #LatinAmerica

Great to see #Ghana advancing #Mission300 reforms as $4.4 billion energy investment pipeline gathers pace.

🇬🇭 is on track to complete 13 of 16 priority reform actions that will be instrumental in electricity access moving from 89.1% today to 99% by 2030.

#DYK schools are the #2 biomass users after households?

One Tanzanian school switched from firewood to #CleanCooking.

The impact?
⚡No more deforestation
⚡Smoke-free kitchens
⚡Faster, healthier meals

What does #genderequality in the energy sector actually look like?

This blog from the #GenderAndEnergy Compact explores why measuring gender-responsive energy action matters:

🔗https://t.co/TJ9Y9b4jzz

[Damilola Ogunbiyi @DamilolaSDG7]

Together with @David_McNair, we argue that resilience is no longer just a development goal, it is a prerequisite for economic security in regions such as #Africa and #Europe.

I welcome you to read our piece in @Financialafrik: https://t.co/kl4Xy22rZE

[Damilola Ogunbiyi @DamilolaSDG7]

The clean #energytransition requires #gender equality at every step.

I welcome you to read this blog that explores why it's time to move beyond commitments and start measuring, scaling & delivering gender-responsive energy actions, creating real impact.
