The President of the UN General Assembly, Mr. Mogens Lykketoft today spoke about Sustainable Energy at the Energy Day in Paris. He underlined that climate action and action to promote Sustainable Development have been seen as distinct from each other for too long. He is pleased to see that recent discussions demonstrate that climate action can and will be a major driver of SDG implementation.
From 11-12 April 2016, the President will convene a High-Level Meeting of the UN General Assembly to discuss implementation of the SDGs. This event will encourage collaboration among a diverse range of actors to give concrete effort to the commitments.
