UN ESCAP eForum

In July, I participated as a moderator in UN ESCAP’s eForum, designed to address energy security issues within the region. I was assigned the topic ‘Improving the affordability of renewable energy options,’ and prepared the attached discussion note – and then led the eForum’s discussion on this topic on July 12th. More than 160 experts from around the world (mostly from the Asia/Pacific region) participated in the eForum, addressing eight energy security topics. The results will be used in preparations for an Asia-Pacific Energy Forum (APEF), which will be held at the ministerial level in 2013.
