G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial and Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM)
SEforALL will once again be well-represented at the upcoming G20 energy meetings and the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) and Mission Innovation (MI) meetings as we seek to build global ambition and drive commitments for a just and equitable energy transition among global leaders. These meetings present a unique opportunity to garner support from countries with the world's largest economies.
The G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial will take place in Goa, India on 22 July 2023.
In the lead-up to the Ministerial, the Energy Transitions Working Group (ETWG), which SEforALL participates in, will also be convening from 19-20 July.
SEforALL has been a member of the G20 ETWG for several years. This is the main G20 platform for ministries from member countries and experts to discuss energy security, accessibility and affordability, energy efficiency, renewable energy, innovation, technology, and financing. These discussions feed directly into the Ministerial meeting, with ministers potentially signing an official communique capturing the ETWG's thinking.
On the margins of the G20 meetings, the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) and Mission Innovation (MI) meetings will also be held 19-22 July in Goa.
The Clean Energy Ministerial and Mission Innovation meetings bring together governments, international organizations, private sector, academia, innovators, civil society, early career researchers and policymakers over a four-day programme featuring high-level ministerial dialogues, global initiative launches, award announcements, minister-CEO roundtables and a wide array of side-events cutting across diverse themes of clean energy transition.
