Background

Building upon the accomplishments of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative, and stressing the need for a coherent and integrated approach to energy issues and sustainable development, the 2012 General Assembly approved a resolution declaring 2014-2024 as the “United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All” (The Decade)1. This declaration sets the stage for a greater emphasis on long-term energy sustainability in the post 2015 development agenda and demonstrates the rising and resounding interest of the Member States in energy issues.
