UN-Energy and its members have responded vigorously to the enormity of the challenges and opportunities presented by the confluence of access, security, climate change and wealth creation in the energy sector. The map below provides a selection of programmes and projects undertaken by UN-Energy and its members. The financing, knowledge sharing, capacity development and technical assistance provided through these activities all help leverage private sector and national resources. They also help create the conditions necessary for long-term, stable investment in sustainable energy pathways.

While these efforts are considerable, there is of course much more to do. UN-Energy and its members are active in more than 140 countries around the world, tackling the energy challenges in ever-expanding scales of engagement. Given this broad response to the energy challenges ahead, UN-Energy has an essential role to play in supporting coherence and coordination. Dynamic partnerships based on comparative advantages, established both within the United Nations system and with external partners, provide an opportunity to adequately address the energy challenges at hand.
