“Providing mankind with accessible, reliable, and sustainable energy is one of the most important missions of the third millennium. Only well-coordinated and purposeful efforts of the global community can significantly broaden access to energy services. To achieve sustainable energy development it is vital to assure that all states have access to advanced energy technologies through global dissemination and exchange of knowledge in this field. Broad implementation of energy-saving technologies and renewable energy sources is to contribute significantly to solving the problem of energy poverty. Active support and persistent promotion of initiatives targeted at enhancing the efficiency of international efforts to eliminate the problem of energy poverty is one of the paramount goals of the global energy community”

VLADIMIR KALAMANOV Director General of ISEDC
