The science is clear: the urgency of the climate crisis demands bolder, faster and more tangible action. To combat this, we must ensure electricity demand across all sectors and industries is met with carbon-free energy sources, every hour, every day, everywhere.
Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), with the support of the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) and other sponsors, will host a pavilion at COP28, taking place in Expo City, Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 30th November - 12th December. The SDG7 Global South Pavilion will be the main hub at COP28 for discussing and showcasing how to unite global efforts on energy, climate and development.

“Tackling climate change requires government and business to work together with urgency and focus. The Compact is the first collective action group to bring together companies, national and local governments, and other stakeholders to drive innovation and investment in 24/7 carbon-free electricity grids, and we are hopeful that it will facilitate significant progress. Time is not on our side - we need to act now - and we look forward to others joining with Google in our efforts.”
