Event Details:

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are convening on 6-8 November 2023 for the 3rd Almaty Energy Forum at the Kazakh British Technical University (KBTU) in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The Almaty Energy Forum provides a platform for inclusive, multi-stakeholder dialogue to facilitate regional cooperation, provide technical capacity support, and help countries in Central Asia innovate and modernize their regional infrastructure and build resilient energy systems that are secure, affordable, and deliver on net-zero targets. The forum includes numerous technical workshops and other sessions related to energy connectivity and transition.

At this event, GMI will host a workshop on methane management targeting decisionmakers in Central Asian countries. In addition, GMI is collaborating with UNDP on a panel that will explore how countries can set up favorable national frameworks for methane policies and use Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to support their efforts.

A detailed agenda for the two-day conference is available on the event website.
