Ambassador M. Chatardová, President of the Economic and Social Council of the UN (ECOSOC), delivered a keynote speech during the opening session of the Vienna Energy Forum, which took place between May 14 and May 16, 2018 in the Austrian capital.
Vienna Energy Forum gathered leaders from governments, civil society, international organizations and the private sector in the aim to push the energy-development agenda forward. During her speech, Ambassador Chatardová said a reliable and affordable energy supply is a prerequisite to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), but that looking at the current progress, the world is falling short on achieving SDG 7 by 2030. She urged participants to demonstrate leadership, form partnerships, and make SDG 7 and the 2030 Agenda a reality.
