Meet The WISIONS Team At The Sustainable Energy For All Forum in Lisbon, Portugal

The WISIONS team will participate in this year’s Sustainable Energy for All Forum, taking place from 2-3 May in Lisbon, Portugal. Meet us there!

Leaders from government, business, civil society and international organisations will gather from 2-3 May 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal for the fourth Sustainable Energy for All Forum.

The 2018 Forum, “Leaving No One Behind”, will take place at a pivotal juncture for accelerating progress on global sustainable energy goals – under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 – and the Paris Climate Agreement. At stake are significant populations that are missing out on education, health, jobs and broader economic opportunities because they do not have access to clean, affordable energy. Closing these energy gaps – especially for ‘last mile’ populations – is the Forum‘s imperative.

The agenda will focus on sharing the latest evidence of scalable innovations in providing electricity access, accelerating renewable energy and improving energy efficiency in all corners of the world. It will shine a spotlight on the urgency for bringing affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy to under-served populations, communities and regions that are at risk of being left behind in the global clean energy transition. These populations are especially vulnerable to energy poverty, climate impacts and other extreme economic challenges; yet they also lack a voice, finance and political capacity for changing their situation.
