Sustainable Energy for All: Ensuring access for the poorest

At the start of June, the first annual Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) Forum was held in New York. SE4All is a global initiative that aims to bring together top-level leadership from all sectors of society – governments, business and civil society – to achieve a broad based transformation of the world’s energy systems and build a more prosperous, healthier, cleaner and safer world for this and future generations. The initiative was launched in September 2011 by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and has three interlinked objectives:

2. Providing universal access to modern energy services;
   
3. Doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and
   
4. Doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
