The organizers of the 2025 SEforALL Global Forum has announced that the event will be co-hosted by Sustainable Energy for All and the Government of Barbados, led by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley.
Under the theme of “Sustainable Energy for Equity, Security and Prosperity”, this year’s Forum will focus on catalysing the actions and investment needed for countries to achieve their energy access, climate and development goals.
Damilola Ogunbiyi is the CEO and Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General (UN SRSG) for Sustainable Energy for All, and Co-Chair of UN-Energy
Building on Prime Minister Mottley’s Bridgetown Initiative for the reform of development finance, the Forum will address the challenge of how we can mobilize sufficient finance on the right terms to meet global goals, especially for the most underserved communities, countries and regions – such as Small Island Developing States.
“Barbados is committed to a sustainable energy transition within our borders and beyond. That is why we are proud to partner with Sustainable Energy for All on this Global Forum, which will be a pivotal moment in the fight for climate justice and ensuring developing countries are supported with their energy transition efforts.” Senator the Honourable Lisa Cummins, Minister of Energy and Business Development, Barbados
