GFSE is a neutral multi-stakeholder platform which is facilitating international dialogue on energy for sustainable development by taking into accounts the special interests and challenges of developing countries. GFSE aims at the establishment of a sustainable world energy system in a social, economic and environmental perspective. It contributes to both international discourse and information dissemination on sustainable energy. GFSE plays a crucial role in facilitating sustainable energy projects, by bringing together donors, investors and project developers. Their interaction produces new opportunities and enhances existing initiatives in the field of sustainable energy.
GFSE is organized on a broad basis in Austria and internationally. The GFSE activities are supported by the Austrian Development Cooperation in the Ministry for European and International Affairs and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA). The GFSE secretariat is currently hosted by the Austrian Energy Agency. The GFSE activities are carried out case by case with different international partners such as UNDP, UNIDO, UNEP, GNESD, REEEP, IIASA and ESMAP.
