The International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum is a solutions platform to accelerate low-emission, climate-resilient development around the world. The Forum highlights the action-oriented steps required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, helping to forge an inclusive pathway that leaves no one behind. The solutions platform facilitates multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder, and inter-disciplinary dialogue to advance sustainable energy development while promoting inclusiveness and the empowerment of women and youth engagement.

The Forum is hosting in-depth solution sessions on the topics relevant to its five themes. The GN-SEC is an important solution and example on how institutionalised regional, south-south and triangular cooperation can accelerate the implementation of the Agenda 2030, particularly regarding SDG 7, 9, 12 and 13.
