How to Apply UNIDO Global Call 2023 | The How to Apply UNIDO Global Call 2023 will address the impacts of climate change that could jeopardize global energy security and even threaten the supply of renewable energy. Therefore, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization’s “Industrial Development Report 2022” proposes the need to foster a green transition, scale investments in energy switching and circular economy, and facilitate global access to green technologies.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Global Call was launched in 2020 for the first time by the UNIDO Investment and Technology Promotion Office (ITPO) in Rome, Italy. Since its inception, the torch has been passed to ITPO Bonn in 2021, and Shanghai in 2022. Over the 3 years, more than 2,000 participants from 108 countries took part in the initiative.
The Global Call 2023, initiated by UNIDO ITPO Beijing, together with the Division of ITPOs and Institutional Partnerships and other related divisions in UNIDO, is set to gather innovative solutions in clean and smart energy that contribute to Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development.
