We need to accelerate the transitions to a clean and renewable energy systems, all the while recognizing different national situations, priorities, pathways, and approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the immense strides made in securing sustainable energy for all, yet the persistent gaps that remain, PGA issued a Call to Action, which included extending access to electricity for over 600 million people; providing clean cooking solutions to over 2 billion people; rapidly accelerating the transitions to clean, renewable energy; dramatically scaling up finance and investment for developing countries; and boosting public-private partnerships, particularly for technology transfer for least developed countries.<\/p>\n<p>PGA added, \u201cI urgently call on Member States and other stakeholders, encompassing the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ system, civil society, private sector, women, youth, academia, among others, to follow up on the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All, as well as to sustain and strengthen international dialogue and cooperation on energy at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, including through a potential Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ conference on energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Held from 15-19 April, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly Sustainability Week included high-level events on sustainable debt and socio-economic equality; sustainable tourism; sustainable transport; infrastructure connectivity; and the Global Stocktake marking the end of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ\u2019s Decade for Sustainable Energy for All.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week, during the high-level meeting on tourism, PGA welcomed the General Assembly\u2019s endorsement of the Statistical Framework on Measuring Sustainability in Tourism. PGA will also submit, as an outcome of the High-Level Meeting on Sustainable Transport, his contribution to the implementation plan for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Decade on Sustainable Transport.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst the high-level speakers and representatives were H.E. Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, and H.E. Robinah Nabbanja, Prime Minister of the Republic of Uganda, who addressed the opening session on debt sustainability. H.E. Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland, provided keynote remarks to the High-Level Meeting on Infrastructure Connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>With a Presidency buffered between the 2023 SDG Summit, in September 2023, and the 2024 Summit of the Future, PGA used Sustainability Week to emphasize sector-by-sector progress across the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, and recognizing the need for individual actions, PGA launched a campaign, called #ChooseSustainability, to encourage Member States, Missions, delegates, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Staff and the general public to commit to sustainable actions. Along with the participation of dozens of Member States and Permanent Missions to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, the campaign also saw over 150,000 \u2018actions\u2019 declared on the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ\u2019s Act Now app.<\/p>\n<p>PGA said, \u201cI am deeply grateful to all those who joined us and chose sustainability; but this is not a one-off and I fully intend to continue emphasizing this call to action throughout the remainder of my Presidency and in the lead-up to the Summit of the Future, in September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For media inquiries and further information, please contact: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carolina Nazzaro, Media Relations Adviser: <a href=\"mailto:carolina.nazzaro@un.org\">carolina.nazzaro@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>* *** *<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>YouTube:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµPGA78\">www.youtube.com\/@Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµPGA78<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter (X):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ_PGA\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ_PGA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instagram:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/unpga\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/unpga<\/a><\/p>\n<p>LinkedIn:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lnkd.in\/eBPsvcsU\">https:\/\/lnkd.in\/eBPsvcsU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE President of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly, H.E.
