The 14th Clean Energy Ministerial and 8th Mission Innovation meeting emphasised critical matters concerning strategies for clean energy transition. The session ‘Accelerating Regional and Global Energy Interconnection to Meet the Global Clean Energy Deployment and Climate Goals’ focused on the importance of energy services for economic and social development, emphasising the need to establish an interconnected clean energy network across borders.
 
This interconnected system can lead to widespread sustainability and reduced costs, facilitating rapid clean energy development and helping achieve net-zero carbon emissions through energy transition. Electrification was identified as a key strategy for achieving industrial decarbonisation within the interconnected energy systems.
 
Organised by COP28 UAE Presidency and UNEP-led Cool Coalition, this side-event brought together government, private sector, and philanthropies to showcase what is needed to accelerate sustainable cooling for a just and equitable energy transition.
 
The COP28 UAE Presidency presented and called for countries to support the Global Cooling Pledge, intended to raise ambition and international cooperation on improving energy efficiency and increasing access to sustainable cooling.
 
The discussions focused on the Green Powered Future Mission (GPFM), aiming to integrate 100 percent variable renewable energy worldwide while ensuring affordability, flexibility, and resilience.
 
The objectives include reliable renewable energy, system flexibility, and digitalization for integration. International collaboration, data sharing and funding for innovation are key to the mission's success.
 
Bureau of Energy Efficiency Director General emphasised the need to regulate and optimize appliance usage to prevent overwhelming challenges for power suppliers.
 
In a powerful side event titled ‘Igniting Change: Breaking down Barriers to Gender Equality,’ distinguished experts from governments, international organizations, youth advocacy organizations, and businesses gathered to address pressing gender disparities in the energy sector.
 
The event delved into obstacles such as the lack of mentorship, inadequate gender-responsive policies, and the need for gender-disaggregated data to monitor progress.
 
The Technology Showcase being organised at Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium, Goa has captivated school students, promoting electric mobility awareness.
