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/

The Antigua and Barbuda Agenda prioritizes sustainable energy, with many SIDS on track for 100% renewable power by 2030.

Find out how policy and financial de-risking, guarantee schemes & private investments are enabling SIDS to transform development: 👉 rb.gy/208gi7

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-...

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?

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

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.
September 25, 2025 at 10:41 AM
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.
 
UNDP + Oxford TIDE Centre have launched “Navigating the Currents of Green Hydrogen” to make sure development investments have transformative impact 👉 bit.ly/Green-H2

Air pollution from energy causes 6.4M deaths/yr. Integrating renewables is a health investment: 🇰🇪 Kenya uses geospatial tools to expand clean grids. 🇮🇳 India’s AI microgrids cut fossil use. 🇹🇹 Trinidad & Tobago scale wind & H₂ to cut fossil power: 👉 tinyurl.com/mvthu2fw

Data centers could consume 3–5% of global electricity by 2030. But countries across the Global South are leading with climate-smart models: cross-border compute (SIJORI), geothermal AI hubs (Kenya), and regional grids (SE Asia). Find out more: 👉 tinyurl.com/3vskcf3y

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

Digitalization is transforming energy systems. AI could cut 5.4 GtCO₂e/yr by 2035 - more than India emits today. The Global South is acting: 🇰🇪 mapping last-mile gaps, 🇮🇳 optimizing microgrids, 🇨🇴 powering cold chains for clinics & farms. 👉 tinyurl.com/3vskcf3y

Clean energy is vital to ending hunger & meeting climate goals. Agri-food systems use 30% of global energy, emit 31% of food system GHGs, yet get <4% of climate finance. Scaling solar, bioenergy & efficiency can cut waste, boost yields & drive rural equity. #HLPF2025
July 24, 2025 at 9:55 PM
90% of new power came from renewables in 2024. Battery storage is up 40x since 2015. Clean energy jobs now outnumber fossil fuels. The latest @UN report w/ @UNDP sets out 6 priorities to build upon this momentum & keep 1.5°C within reach: 👉 tinyurl.com/49vc6ve9

Earth Observation is scaling with 15,000+ satellites to launch this decade. Yet <20% of African countries use EO in energy plans. The Global South is acting: 🇪🇬🇿🇦 siting renewables, 🇧🇷 mapping 5 biomes, 🌐GeoSUR links 100+ LAC agencies. 👉 tinyurl.com/3vskcf3y

Energy powers progress; yet 666M people still lack electricity & 2.1B rely on polluting fuels. At #HLPF2025, we must act. To meet #SDG7, we need leadership, inclusive finance & urgent investment. New briefs show how clean energy drives health, equality & jobs.
July 15, 2025 at 5:59 PM
As #HLPF2025 kicks off, one message is clear: Our Energy Future is Digital. AI & data can cut 5.4 GtCO₂e/yr by 2035, expand access, empower women & boost resilience. The future is digital and low-carbon. 👉 tinyurl.com/3vskcf3y
