ENERGY COMPACT REGISTRATION PROCESS LAUNCHED

AS MOMENTUM BUILDS FOR HIGH-LEVEL DIALOGUE

Global Call to Submit Compacts Now, to Ensure Registration by September Summit

The impact generated at the Ministerial Thematic Forums in June has continued to expand in ever-widening circles, as the 50 Ministers and 1500 participants have set about mobilizing and solidifying further Energy Compact commitments in their own areas, for announcement at the September High-level Dialogue.

The process for officially registering Energy Compacts was launched this week, with all information presented on a new dedicated website. Governments, businesses, cities, international organizations and others wanting to register their Compact are invited to submit details in an email form. These will then be reviewed according to the guiding principles and criteria for Energy Compacts, before being registered on the website. UN-Energy provides support for the Energy Compact process.

All those interested are encouraged to send in their Energy Compact as soon as possible, at the latest by 31 August, in order to ensure that their submission is reviewed and registered in time to be given visibility at the High-level Dialogue in September.

To make your SDG 7 commitment and register your Energy Compact, visit the submission guidelines.
