style=\"text-align: center\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Excellencies, <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Distinguished Delegates,<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let me begin by thanking the Permanent Mission of the People&#8217;s Republic of China and partners for organizing today\u2019s event \u2013 focusing our attention on hastening the adoption of clean energy.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030 \u2013 the very heart of <strong>SDG7<\/strong> \u2013 remains still an aspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Today,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over <strong>600 million<\/strong> people live without electricity.<\/li>\n<li>Over <strong>2 billion<\/strong> rely on harmful fuels for cooking.<\/li>\n<li>And investment gaps for low carbon energy and energy efficiency to 2030, in line with the 1.5-degree pathway, are estimated at <strong>$460 billon<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For this reason, I was pleased to launch my <strong>Call to Action<\/strong> during the General Assembly\u2019s first-ever <strong>Sustainability Week<\/strong> I convened in April \u2013 to accelerate implementation of SDG7 towards 2030 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Through this Call, among others, the aim is to <strong>dramatically scale up finance and investment<\/strong> for developing countries \u2013 in particular LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the Call aimed to enhance public-private-partnerships, technology transfer and capacity building for developing countries \u2013 creating an enabling environment for energy transitions.<\/p>\n<p>In this spirit, I welcome today\u2019s timely event and launch of the <strong>Global Electricity Development Index<\/strong> to provide further support for the green transition.<\/p>\n<p>Such efforts \u2013 and those of the many institutions including GEIDCO that are promoting the energy transition \u2013 will help us meet global demand for electricity in a cleaner and greener way.<\/p>\n<p>Around the world, pre-existing gaps are being wedged open due to needless conflict and instability.<\/p>\n<p>Having just visited <strong>Ukraine<\/strong>, I can tell you that with <strong>68 per cent<\/strong> of energy generation destroyed, the need for alternative sources \u2013 and investment \u2013 is high.<\/p>\n<p>It is <strong>but <\/strong>one of <strong>many<\/strong> countries in the grips of conflict \u2013 and in dire need of support for the clean energy transition.<\/p>\n<p>While these challenges are concerning and require our attention, it is encouraging to note that these needs are coinciding with some very \u2013 <strong>I repeat, very<\/strong> \u2013 optimistic trends.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of solar power and lithium battery technology, for example, has fallen by a whopping <strong>85 percent since 2010<\/strong> \u2013 and the cost of wind power, by <strong>50 per cent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In parts of the world, renewable energy is now the de facto choice of many in public and private spheres \u2013 and not only out of a sense of altruism for the environment, but because of the low cost and clear return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>We must, therefore, seize this momentum \u2013 while we can.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Excellencies, Dear friends,<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the global energy trade reached <strong>28.76 billion kilowatt hours<\/strong> \u2013 and is projected to grow by <strong>2.5 per cent annually<\/strong>, towards 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Proof positive that SDG 7 holds a unique position at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change. It is an accelerator and unifier that weaves together all SDGs and holds the potential to spark progress <strong>across<\/strong> our shared global aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>From education to healthcare, from food security to resilient infrastructure, energy is an ingredient that simply cannot be forsaken.<\/p>\n<p>As we work to decarbonize energy and ensure universal access, it is essential that we share best practices if we hope to deliver \u2013 particularly for the most vulnerable countries.<\/p>\n<p>I trust that through this fruitful discussion today, we will drive progress towards affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all \u2013 learning <strong>from<\/strong> each other, cooperating <strong>with<\/strong> each other, and offering support <strong>to<\/strong> each other, for the wellbeing of <strong>all<\/strong>, everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* ***
