The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for Development was established by Economic and Social Council resolution 1998/46 of 31 July 1998, which called for the merger of the former Committee on Natural Resources and the Committee on New and Renewable Sources of Energy and on Energy for Development. According to its terms of reference, the new Committee was composed of  government-nominated experts divided into two sub-groups of twelve members each dealing with issues related to energy and water resources, respectively.
