SEforALL<\/a>, aims at achieving three ambitious objectives within Goal 7 “Clean and Accessible Energy” and the other related Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and of the Paris Agreement: ensuring universal access to modern energy services, doubling the share of renewable resources in the global energy mix, and doubling the improvement rate of energy efficiency, by establishing strategic partnerships among Governments, private sector, academia and civil society.<\/p>\nSince early 2020 the Chief Executive Officer of SEforALL is Damilola Ogunbiyi, former Managing Director of the Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency.<\/p>\n
From an institutional point of view, following the approval by the Austrian Government of a specific law in July 2016, SEforALL has the status of indepentent international organization with legal personality recognized in Austria and formal relations with the UN System. Such status of the Organization does not undermine its special relation with the United Nations, which is formally enshrined in an ad hoc agreement. Some institutional features of the original initiative also remain unchanged: the role of the CEO as Special Representative of the Secretary General and the existence of an Advisory Board consisting of international high-level persons (chiefs of states and governments, representatives of international organizations, NGOs and enterprises). SEforALL is the first initiative within the United Nations system to acquire progressive autonomy while maintaining close ties with the system itself, which allows for a more effective and flexible performance. SEforALL can thus act as a liaison structure which brings together UN bodies, public and private actors and civil society, facilitating the creation of private-public partnerships.<\/p>\n
Since its establishment, SEforALL has implemented several initiatives to promote universal access to energy and increase energy efficiency, among which: the publication of reports and studies; inputs to international fora and initiatives on energy and environment-related issues; the conclusion of partnership agreements; thematic initiatives such as one to provide sustainable cooling for all.<\/p>\n
The CEO of SEforALL, as Special Representative of the Secretary General, participates in and contributes to the main UN initiatives and platforms on sustainable energy, particularly within the framework of SDG7.<\/p>\n
As far as Italy is concerned, SEforALL signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ENEL aimed at promoting dialogue and supporting concrete initiatives in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, such as the \u201cElectrification Accelerator\u201d in order to promote global access to energy through a global network of partners, with a focus on the African Continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Launched by former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in 2011, Sustainable Energy for All, SEforALL, aims at achieving three ambitious objectives within Goal 7 “Clean and Accessible Energy” and the other related Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and of the Paris Agreement: ensuring universal access to modern energy services, doubling the […]","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":36,"menu_order":14,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-237","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5219,"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/237\/revisions\/5219"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/36"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/italiarappvienna.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
