Celebrating the 5 years of the Universal Energy Facility (UEF).

The International Day of Clean Energy on 26 January was declared by the UN General Assembly (resolution A/77/327) as a call to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet. On this International Day of Clean Energy, people everywhere are invited to take action in a shared show of commitment to clean, reliable and affordable energy. We are calling this 24 hours for clean energy;The Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) will mark the Day with an ambitious and global slate of activities, and we invite you to be part of it. Here are simple ways for communities, companies and individuals to participate and amplify the call for change. The campaign playbook aims to support individuals, local communities, businesses and the general public to organize events and share information highlighting the need for clean energy and how individual and collective actions can empower change. You can also utilize the assets in the social media toolkit and using the hashtags #InternationalDayofCleanEnergy and #CleanEnergyDay on social media you can make your voice heard. Feel free to tag Sustainable Energy for All whenever you post on social media.
