The backdrop for the High Level Meeting was the UN Millennium Development Goals, whose target date is 2015.
Bakgrunnen for dette møtet er FNs tusenårsmål som «går ut på dato» i 2015.
Energy is one of these 11 topics.
Energi er et av disse elleve temaene.
Achieving sustainable energy for all is an ambitious goal, but it is attainable.
Å oppnå bærekraftig energi for alle er et ambisiøst men oppnåelig mål.
These approaches are also key elements of the Sustainable Energy For All (SE4All) initiative, launched by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Disse virkemidlene er også hjørnesteinene i Sustainable Energy For All (SE4All), er et initiativ lansert av FNs generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon.
The summary of the High Level Meeting shows that there is widespread agreement that energy plays a crucial role for development.
Sammendraget av møtet viser at det er stor enighet om at energi spiller en viktig rolle for utvikling.
Energy has a bearing on challenges relating to poverty, food security, clean water, health, education, economic growth, youth’s and women’s rights, and climate change.
Energi henger sammen med utfordringer knyttet til fattigdom, matsikkerhet, rent vann, helse, utdanning, økonomisk vekst, unge- og kvinners rettigheter og klimaendringer.
According to the recommendations from the meeting, energy must be integrated into the new development agenda.
Anbefalingene fra konsultasjonsprosessen er at energi må integreres i den nye utviklingsagendaen.
A global network was initiated, which will work in the lead-up to the UN General Assembly in 2015 to ensure that this happens.
Det vil lanseres et globalt nettverk som skal arbeide for dette frem til FNs generalforsamling i 2015.
