The Global Platform for Action on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings (GPA) is a global initiative aiming to ensure SDG 7—access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all—is inclusive of humanitarian and displacement contexts. Hosted by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). It is financially supported by the IKEA Foundation and the European Union’s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO), and receives in-kind support from NORCAP and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) through the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) platform.
By connecting individuals and organizations in productive partnerships, the GPA helps advance energy programming in the humanitarian response in quality, scale and replicability.
The GPA offers you a platform to connect and collaborate with partners in bringing clean energy solutions to displacement settings. Becoming a GPA partner is an individual’s or organization’s promise to provide practical support in delivering the goals and principles of the Global Plan of Action Framework Document.
Sustainable and clean energy can provide significant benefits to displaced people, including improved protection, gender equality, health, water services, sanitation, education, livelihoods, food security, connectivity, and environmental protection. Read more.
Displaced persons, host communities and the associated humanitarian response mechanism have access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy services by 2030.
