Sustainable Energy

Capacity Development Centre on Energy for Sustainable Development (CDC ESD)

Mission:  According to the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), 1.3 billion people on the planet don't have access to modern energy services and about 1.12 billion people speak Mandarin Chinese and 285 million people speak Russian language as primary and secondary languages. Among these people more than a half do not speak English or French, which are the most often used languages for the UN documents, including best practices publications and green policy information. Thus, for many people the current situation with access to information about green economy is vulnerable because of lack of available translation, though Chinese and Russian are among six official languages of the UN. Increased access of this audience to information about UN activities in green economy can give the necessary tools to continue and strengthen work towards economic sustainability.
