As “small island digital states”, SIDS are harnessing AI, IoT & geospatial data for energy planning, optimization & integrated systems.

The UNDP SIDS Data Platform, developed with AOSIS, provides access to indicators, maps, and AI tools👉 sids.data.undp.org/

Over half of the beneficiaries of UNDP’s energy portfolio are in crisis settings - showing how energy is the foundation for resilience, recovery, and stability.

Green hydrogen must serve people, not just markets.
 
It can decarbonize industries & create jobs, but only if investments expand energy security, protect nature, and build local value chains.

Not all AI progress is digital. From stabilising grids to saving $50B in climate losses each year, we’re already learning to turn intelligence into resilience. The next breakthrough won't be bigger models - it will be sustainable intelligence: 👉 tinyurl.com/3n667hdc @undp.org

We often discuss the role of AI in energy for incremental improvement in efficiency or cost gains.
 
But, the real impact is structural - AI is enabling new market dynamics that redefine how energy systems are governed and financed. Read more 👉 mailchi.mp/undp/era-of-...

Africa holds 60% of the world’s best solar potential and a $190B clean energy opportunity. Decentralized solutions, digital & AI, and local value chains can transform energy systems - placing Africa at the heart of the global sustainable energy revolution. #Youth @damilolasdg7.bsky.social

By 2027 data centers could consume 900 TWh of electricity & 6.6B m³ of water yearly, largely driven by AI. Yet, AI is optimizing grids, forecasting climate, & unlocking finance.
 
AI is reshaping the energy transition - but will it build resilience, or deepen fragility?

Delighted to join today’s @UnitedNationsEnergy session on #CleanCooking. Household air pollution kills 6.67M yearly & costs $2.4T - yet the sector receives  <1% of energy finance. We spend trillions to avoid paying billions, when $8B/yr could deliver universal access by 2030.

Honored to open the #SDG7ActionForum with a moderation panel on: Mobilizing a Final Push on SDG7. 666M people still lack electricity & 2.1B clean cooking, yet renewables, innovative finance & AI are scaling fast. From commitments to action, the chance to close the divide is here.
September 25, 2025 at 1:20 AM
AI can widen divides - or power a Just Energy Future. Smart grids cut losses 20% & reduce emissions 10% by 2030. Ecosystem AI can unlock $1.3T while safeguarding water, land & biodiversity. Grounding innovation in equity can widen inclusion: 👉 tinyurl.com/3n667hdc @illumineme.bsky.social

Closing the energy gap isn’t just a question of funding or infrastructure; it’s also about having the right data. @UNDP & @IBM have co-created AI tools for 102 countries (forecasts) and 53 (equity), already impacting 600K+ people. 🔗👉 tinyurl.com/5yj7v35c. #ClimateWeekNYC

Green hydrogen could supply 12% of energy by 2050 - but only if strategies balance risk & opportunity.

Sub-Saharan Africa could achieve universal clean cooking access by 2040 if countries match the fastest rates of historical progress seen elsewhere.

This would require 80 million people to gain access each year – with cities leading the way 👉 iea.li/4f0z7Hp

Affordability remains the primary barrier to boosting access to clean cooking.

At today's prices, the cost of adopting a clean cooking solution would exceed 10% of household monthly income for nearly 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa.

Fossil fuel subsidies exceed $1T a year, all while 54 countries spend 10%+ of budgets on debt. But the Global South is advancing solutions: subsidy reforms, concessional finance & debt-climate swaps can fund clean energy where it's needed most. 👉 tinyurl.com/5a25nz8y
