There are currently over 1.8 billion people between the ages of 15 and 29, a constituency full of creativity, energy and ideas that must be harnessed if we are to achieve our global #energy, #climate, and development objectives. (2/4)

In my remarks, I emphasized that a just and equitable #energytransition will not be achieved if we do not ensure better governance in the energy sector and encourage intergenerational and multi-level energy and climate dialogue between stakeholders.      (3/4)

I reiterated that there is an urgent need for more youth-led or youth-guided solutions-oriented actions that lead to results, and this is why Sustainable Energy for All | #SDG7BeBold earlier this year unveiled the first cohort of the #SDG7 Global #Youth Ambassador Programme. (4/4)

SEforALL’s CEO Damilola Ogunbiyi joined us at the Youth Solutions Days at International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum for a fantastic Q&A session yesterday! Youth participants had the opportunity to learn about her journey and ask pressing questions on enabling a just and equitable energy transition.
