Global Conference Highlights Role of Energy in Advancing Climate and SDG Goals

At the Sixth Global Climate and SDG Synergies Conference, a thematic session on "Promoting Climate-SDG Synergies Through Energy Action" was held at UN City in Copenhagen on 28 May 2025. The session brought together government representatives, private sector stakeholders, academia, and international experts to explore how just and inclusive energy transitions can accelerate progress on both the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda. Discussions highlighted the importance of scaling up proven solutions—such as the Energy Compacts, which have mobilized over $1.4 trillion for clean energy projects—and strengthening international cooperation. The session also underscored the critical role of the SDG7 Technical Advisory Group in informing the 2026 review of SDG7 at the UN High-level Political Forum, and in supporting efforts to align energy action with broader sustainable development and climate goals.
