World Energy Day aims to raise awareness on the importance of saving our natural resources, for sustainability, conservation, climate change, carbon emission reduction, and environmental protection. All these contribute to increasing energy efficiency and sustainability.

What are the objectives of the World Energy Day?

Ensuring the affordability of a safe and sustainable energy for everyone by identifying the need for developing national policies to reflect a shared global energy perspective. The objectives also include strengthening policies relevant to implementing and developing mechanisms and frameworks to exchange experience between different countries around the world. This includes promoting the development of human resources to pursue the common good of all everyone, by continuing the rational use of fossil fuels in the global economy while accelerating the process of the transformation to safer, and appropriate renewable energy sources.
