ENERGIA is pleased to invite you to the "ENERGIA and Gender" day being hosted as part of the UNDP Knowledge Expo at the 15th session of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD 15) on Thursday 3 May 2007 from 10:00 - 18:00 hrs.

ENERGIA the International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy is pleased to invite you to the "ENERGIA and Gender" day being hosted as part of the UNDP Knowledge Expo at the 15th session of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD 15) on Thursday 3 May 2007 from 10:00 - 18:00 hrs.

The Knowledge Expo is being planned to provide a forum for UN agencies and partners to consolidate their work on energy for sustainable development, while offering a forum for policy discussion and knowledge exchange among development practitioners. The proposed aim of the multi-day event is to:

  1. Provide discussion and advocacy opportunities to stimulate the policy debate; and
  2. Raise visibility and political awareness for the issues of energy
access and climate change.

At CSD 15 in April 2007, ENERGIA, in its capacity as a co-facilitator for Women as a Major Group, will continue working with governments, UN agencies and other major groups, to advocate for international and national commitments that can be used as a platform to spur action and consolidate efforts at and beyond CSD 15. Our primary focus is on concrete plans for mainstreaming a gender perspective into policies, programmes and decision-making processes regarding expanded access to energy for sustainable development.

It is in this context that the "Energy and Gender" day will include two expert panel discussions, exhibits, displays and video screenings with key partners from governments, UN, and NGOs working in Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
