The Global Network on Energy for Sustainable Development (GNESD) is a
UNEP facilitated knowledge
network of Centres of
Excellence and network partners worldwide, renowned for their work on
energy, development, and environment issues. The main objective of GNESD is to work for reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
by:
 | Strengthening the Members Centres’
ability to acquire, assimilate, and apply existing knowledge and
experiences. |
| Working for a better understanding
of the links between sustainable energy and other development and
environment priorities, and technology and policy options, leading
to better articulation of practical policies that can be adopted so
as to promote energy for sustainable energy.
|
| Working to change government
policies and programmes, and private sector, investments, so that
these favour energy for sustainable development approaches.
|
| Promoting a communication
infrastructure that provides a means for Members to share
experiences and draw on each other’s strengths, expertise, and
skills, and
|
| Strengthened South-South and
North-South exchange of knowledge and collaboration on energy issues
of common interest. |
Member Centres coordinate joint
activities within the fields shown above, exchange information, carry
out analytical studies and supply policy support. GNESD thereby makes
it easier for each Member Centre to provide environmentally sound
energy policy advice supporting sustainable development. The work in
GNESD is theme driven and carried out on the basis of ad-hoc Working
Groups consisting of representatives from the participating 21 Centres
of Excellence.
