This session will launch two UNIDO policy briefs prepared in support of the SDG 7 Technical Advisory Group for the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) 2026.

The briefs explore the interlinkages between SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and between SDG 7 and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). They highlight integrated policy approaches to accelerate clean energy transitions, sustainable industrial development, and resource efficiency.

The session will feature short presentations of key findings, followed by a discussion on policy implications and practical pathways to implementation.
