Energy4commons
Energy4commons advocates for access to modern, reliable and affordable energy as a fundamental and inalienable right for all human beings. We develop a campaign addressed to the civil society, as well as to policy makers, investors and stakeholders in the energy industry in order to promote an understanding of the urgency of implementing efficient and credible actions to enable universal access to energy to more vulnerable communities of the Global South.
Energy4commons operates as a non-governmental, independent organization recognized to be of public interest and is registered as a non-profit association under Belgian law.
Access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is a pillar of prosperity and development for every economy. It is part of the 17 sustainable development goals included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015.
