🌍🌞 On June 13th, the Sun4All Project, in collaboration with Climate Alliance, co-hosted a dynamic policy session at the European Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels. With over 250 attendees, the event focused on the pivotal role of local authorities in driving a fair and inclusive European Green Deal, emphasising #energypoverty alleviation and clean #energytransition. Following the session, a policy cocktail brought together a diverse audience to celebrate the Sun4All project's impactful outcomes. 🌱🍸 Here are some key takeaways: 🏛 Local empowerment: Local governments, key to 70% of European energy legislation, are crucial for implementing community-specific solutions and ensuring vulnerable groups benefit from the energy transition. 💪 Challenges and success stories: While local authorities face financial and regulatory challenges, innovative programmes like Besançon’s energy poverty initiative showcase effective solutions. 🗽 Insights from New York: The balance between scaling up initiatives and maintaining individual engagement, as seen in New York’s Solar For All, offers valuable lessons for the European Green Deal. 🌞 Sun4All’s vision: Transforming from fossil fuels to community-driven renewable energy, Sun4All supports households in accessing solar energy, enhancing energy justice, and building community resilience. Check out our capacity-building programme! Let’s continue to support local actions and policies to foster a just and green energy future for all. 💚💡 (Re)watch the EUSEW Policy Session here: https://bit.ly/4cCr9C2 #EnergyTransition #EuropeanGreenDeal #Sun4All #EUSEW2024 #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #EnergyJustice

Ilmatar flies the flag for sustainable development – every single day! Commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals comes very naturally to us. Clean and affordable energy is the key to fighting against the climate crisis. Tackling climate change is vital to the success of all SDGs. Go and read some examples of how these goals are visible in our work:

🌍💡 Rethinking Our Energy Future: Aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals ⚡ As we confront the urgent challenges posed by climate change and energy accessibility, it's essential to reassess the systems that govern our energy production and distribution. The current model, dominated by private utility companies, often prioritizes profit over the well-being of communities, leading to significant vulnerabilities in our energy infrastructure. In light of the UN SDGs, particularly Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, we must advocate for a more equitable energy system. Here are some key considerations: Public Ownership of Utilities 🏢: Transitioning to publicly owned utilities can ensure that energy decisions prioritize community needs and environmental sustainability. This shift aligns with SDG 7 by promoting access to reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Transition to Renewable Energy 🌞: A commitment to a zero-carbon future requires a robust power grid that supports renewable energy sources. This transition is not just technological; it's a political imperative that demands our collective action. Energy as a Human Right 💡: Access to affordable energy is fundamental. We cannot allow market forces to dictate the price and accessibility of essential services. Advocating for energy as a public good ensures that everyone has access to the power they need. Community Empowerment 🤝: Engaging communities in the energy transition is vital. By empowering individuals and local organizations, we can create a grassroots movement that demands accountability and transparency from energy providers, fostering social equity. A Just Transition ⚖️: The fight for a sustainable energy future must also address social inequalities. Ensuring that marginalized communities are included in the transition to clean energy is essential for achieving SDG 10-Reduced Inequalities. Investments in Clean Energy 💰: Accelerating the transition to renewable energy requires significant investments in clean energy technologies and infrastructure. Governments, financial institutions, and the private sector must collaborate to unlock investments and drive innovation in sustainable energy solutions. The path forward is clear: We need a power grid that serves the people and the planet, not just corporate interests. By prioritizing investments in clean energy, we can create a more resilient energy landscape that benefits both people and the planet. Let's champion sustainable practices and advocate for investments that not only drive economic growth but also contribute to a greener 🌱 future! Let's work together to prioritize equity, accessibility, and environmental health in our energy systems. #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #ClimateAction #UNSDGs #CleanEnergy #Investment

High-Integrity Carbon Credits to Accelerate Clean Energy Transition in Developing Economies : The Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA) Initiative Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA), is a groundbreaking initiative that's forging a powerful alliance between governments and private sector leaders. This innovative partnership is designed to unlock a surge of private capital, empowering developing countries to achieve their clean energy goals and build a more sustainable future. The ETA is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of State, the Bezos Earth Fund, and The Rockefeller Foundation. It establishes an innovative sectoral-scale carbon crediting standard, enabling developing nations to generate high-quality credits to finance their shift from fossil fuels to clean power. Here are some key highlights: Addressing the Funding Gap: The ETA has the potential to generate tens of billions of dollars in transition finance by 2035, closing the significant funding gap for clean energy investment in developing economies. Scaling Up Clean Energy Transition: The initiative focuses on accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to clean power, keeping the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement within reach. Ensuring Equitable Transition: The ETA prioritizes a just transition, ensuring benefits for local communities alongside environmental gains. High- Integrity Standards: The emphasis on high-integrity carbon credits fosters trust and transparency in the carbon market. This initiative is a significant step forward in tackling climate change and achieving a sustainable energy future. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) will serve as the ETA's secretariat, and former Secretary of State John Kerry will chair the newly established Senior Consultative Group. #climatechange #renewableenergy #sustainabledevelopment #ETA #carboncredits #climatefinance #globaldevelopment #energytransition #justtransition #partnershipsforgood #COP28

Exploring shared prosperity: Indigenous leadership and partnerships for a just transition To avoid climate catastrophe, renewable energy capacity must triple in the next six years. The private sector plays a critical role in this energy transition – as do Indigenous Peoples. If the opportunity of a just transition is to be realised, private sector and state commitment to Indigenous Peoples’ rights and transformative business models designed to deliver shared prosperity for and with Indigenous Peoples is non-negotiable. These need to be in alignment with Indigenous Peoples’ self-determined priorities. This report, jointly produced by Indigenous Peoples’ Rights International (IPRI) and the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre the Resource Centre, explores the case for a renewable energy transition that centres Indigenous Peoples’ rights, interests and prosperity, as determined by them, in pursuit of a global transition that is fast because it is fair and sustainable. #Indigenous #sustianability #energy #renewableenergy #UNAC #UN #UNESCO #OECD
