The 10th International Forum on Energy for Sustainable Development will take place under the theme “Translating Targets into Actions” on 7-8 October 2019 at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, Thailand. The Forum is organized by the five United Nations Regional Commissions and the Ministry of Energy of the Kingdom of Thailand.

Urgent reinforced action and more investment, particularly in least developed countries is needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7 on energy by 2030.

The 10th Forum in Bangkok will explore pathways to close the gap between targets and actions. Experts from the energy sector, representatives from governments, UN entities, international organizations and other stakeholders will discuss major issues and demonstrate actions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 7 and meet commitments to mitigate climate change. There will be a series of roundtables, parallel sessions and side events about energy issues like clean cooking, access to electricity, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and cleaner use of fossil fuels.
