UNOPS
hosts Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Secretariat/Programme in
Vienna, Austria. Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) is an
independent organization with a global mandate to accelerate progress
on the energy transition in emerging and developing countries. We
work at the intersection of energy, climate, and development. We
collaborate with governments and partners worldwide to end energy
poverty, accelerate the deployment of renewable energy solutions, and
combat climate change.
Our
vision is a world where everyone, everywhere, can lead a dignified
life on a healthy planet, powered by sustainable energy. We promote
this vision by pushing for higher ambitions, stronger policies,
greater finance flows, increased localization and green jobs, and
faster results toward an energy transition that leaves no one behind.
