Global Platform for Action on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings (GPA) Coordination Unit at UNITAR

The Global Platform for Action (GPA) on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings is the global initiative to promote actions that enable sustainable energy access in displacement settings, as laid out in the Global Plan of Action Framework.

The GPA strives to remove barriers to energy access in humanitarian settings by providing a collaborative agenda for energy, development, and humanitarian partners to deliver concrete actions of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) in displacement contexts. It promotes and contributes to the humanitarian sector’s transition to renewable energy, which will increase efficiency and reduce costs and carbon emissions. Hosted by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), the GPA Coordination Unit facilitates collective action towards the realization of the GPA Framework. Go to website.
