The content featured in this 100 Days Report includes our involvement in planning and supporting major global fora in 2021, particularly the UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy in September 2021 and COP26 in November. We have been continuing and growing our leadership role in the planning and promotion of the High-level Dialogue on Energy, which was formally launched on 10 March during an online event where over twenty ministerial-level “Global Champions” from UN Member States. In the last 100 days, SEforALL and UN-Energy have developed the Energy Compact templates that will be used to capture commitments and begun promoting them to the various stakeholders they target.

The report also covers the launch of a new, year-long campaign called Be Bold to drive ambitious action towards Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) and updates on all of our different Programmes.
