Aca les dejo una pequeña info en ingles sobre el objetivo de la UN (Naciones Unidas), para el Desarrollo Sustentable Energetico.
UN-Energy, the interagency mechanism on energy, has addressed the importance of access to energy in achieving the Millennium Development Goals in its recent report entitled The Energy Challenge for Achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The report draws on the collective expertise of the entire United Nations system, including the World Bank, and argues that the lack of modern fuels and electricity in most developing countries entrenches poverty, constrains the delivery of social services, limits opportunities for women, and erodes environmental sustainability. Currently 1.6 billion people lack access to electricity and 2.4 billion people lack access to modern fuels for cooking and heating.
About UN-Energy
UN-Energy was established to help ensure coherence in the UN system’s multi-disciplinary response to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) and to ensure the effective engagement of non-UN stakeholders in implementing WSSD energy-related decisions. It aims to promote system-wide collaboration in the area of energy with a coherent and cons
istent approach since there is no single entity in the UN system that has primary responsibility for energy.
The group focuses on substantive and collaborative actions both in regard to policy development in the energy area and its implementation as well as in maintaining an overview of major ongoing initiatives within the system based on the UN-Energy work programme at global, regional sub-regional and national levels. The Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI), decisions taken at CSD-9, the Programme for the Further Implementation of Agenda 21, and Agenda 21 serve as the basis for action on energy.
