UN-Energy is an interagency mechanism within the system of the United Nations related to energy.
To do this, UN-Energy is reviewing energy-related activities within the UN system and trying to mainstream them into a broader approach.
UN-Energy was established as a subsidiary body of CEB in 2004 to help ensure coherence in the United Nations system’s multi-disciplinary response to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) and to promote the effective engagement of non-UN stakeholders in implementing WSSD energy-related decisions.
Its membership consists of senior officials and experts on energy of the commissions, organizations, funds and programmes listed below.
Damilola Ogunbiyi, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy and Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator, are the co-chairs of UN-Energy.
