NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum, previously known as the Vienna Energy Forum, is a solutions platform to accelerate low-emission, climate-resilient development around the world.

The Energy and Climate Forum highlights the action-oriented steps required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, helping to forge an inclusive pathway that leaves no one behind as we work to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

The solutions platform facilitates multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder and inter-disciplinary dialogue to advance sustainable energy development while promoting inclusiveness and the empowerment of women.

Initiated in 2008, the Forum is co-organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the Austrian Government and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.
