The event will focus on various threats emerging from the protracted COVID-19 crisis and continuing geopolitical crisis and on the ways to overcome them. Disruptions in energy supplies are hitting hard the most vulnerable populations in the global South. Many developing countries and countries with economies in transition are facing common challenges. Their experience in confronting these challenges can be valuable for other countries. Among other solutions being developed are efforts to strengthen the capacity and resilience of micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries and economies in transition to mitigate the economic and social impact of the global COVID-19 crisis.
Participants of the Side Event may also benefit from exchange of experiences in overcoming consequences of rising energy and fuel prices, problems with access to energy sources, pathways to achieving SDG 7 and in finding lasting and sustainable solutions for energy transition.
The concept note and draft programme are available on this website.
