Vienna Energy Forum 2011
From 21.06.2011 to 23.06.2011
REEEP Endorsed
Organised by UNIDO
Location: Vienna
Description:
The Vienna Energy Forum 2011 will facilitate an international dialogue on providing universal energy access and on the multiple co-benefits of increasing energy efficiency. Core themes to be addressed at the conference include:
- Agreeing on a common understanding of energy access
- Agreeing on a strategy to ensure universal access to modern energy services and increase energy efficiency by reducing energy intensity by 40% until 2030
- Identifying indicative targets and policies in support of these objectives
- Prioritizing key national and regional actions on energy access and energy efficiency
The Forum will bring together over 1,000 partipants including heads of state, policy-makers, experts, civil society and the private sector to discuss how to overcome energy poverty and how to move from declarations of intention to tangible action on the ground.
The discussion on these topics will serve to propose an international architecture on how to ensure universal energy access and reduce energy intensities. It will help map the related work of key stakeholders and define their roles and responsibilities. Based on this mapping, the development of an action-oriented roadmap will be initiated.
The event will also coincide with the launching of the Global Energy Assessment.
As part of the event, Dr. Marianne Osterkorn will be moderating Round Table 3 on the Role of Energy Efficiency for Productive Uses on 22 June from 15:45 to 17:00.
