IVECF
The International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum, previously known as the Vienna Energy Forum, is a solutions platform to accelerate low-emission, climate-resilient development around the world.
The IVECF highlights the action-oriented steps required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, helping to forge an inclusive pathway that leaves no one behind as we work to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The solutions platform facilitates multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder and inter-disciplinary dialogue to advance sustainable energy development while promoting inclusiveness and the empowerment of women and youth.
Initiated in 2008, the Forum is co-organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the Austrian Government and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.
Vienna Call to Action
The Vienna Call to Action calls for coordinated global efforts to address the interconnected challenges of energy, industry, climate, and security by accelerating a just energy transition, advancing green industrialization, and strengthening climate resilience. It emphasizes aligning policies, mobilizing public and private finance, and scaling international cooperation, particularly for vulnerable countries, to turn the green transition into a driver of economic opportunity, stability, and shared prosperity.
