Leaving (really) no one behind: Energy Access in Fragile and Conflict Affected Areas

To bring attention on the energy needs in fragile and conflict affected areas, the Global Platform for Action (GPA) on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings hosted at UNITAR will organize an event at the Ministerial Forum to convene governments, UN agencies, and international/national organizations working towards achieving SDG7 in fragile and conflict affected areas. The discussion will focus on policy, advocacy, and strategies for energy interventions, as well as the challenges and opportunities in collaborative approaches, which could also include UN peacekeeping in future solutions. The event is expected to create momentum on this topic and facilitate the discussion during the UN High-level Dialogue on Energy. The organisers will call on all relevant partners to include displaced people in national energy access policies while humanitarian, development and peacebuilding organisations are urged to switch to sustainable energy solutions in their responses.

This side event is proposed on the basis of SDG 7 Policy Brief 3.14 The Interlinkages between Energy and Peaceful and Inclusive Societies. https://sdgs.un.org/sites/default/files/2021-06/2021-SDG7%20POLICY%20BRIEFS.pdf#page=145
