About
The objective of “Astana EXPO-2017” is to appeal to the international community’s sense of responsibility through institutions, organizations, corporations and individuals in order to foster debate and awareness of the decisive impact that energy management has on the lives of people and on the future of our the planet.
Energy is the central element of modern global economy. It defines positive and negative trends therein, as well as the pace of development of regions and states.
Today the most promising area in the world is “green energy”, i.e. technologies for obtaining energy from renewable sources (RES). Their development and improvement are based on the need to replenish energy shortage, to resolve environmental issues and to launch a new phase of technological development of the world economy.
“Green energy” is closely connected with ecology. Compared with traditional sources – for example, hydrocarbons – the use of RES is not harmful for the planet’s ecosystem, and, therefore, it does not cause climate change.
“Astana EXPO-2017” will allow leading world experts to discuss and exchange the most recent developments in the field of “green energy”, its availability, sustainability and major trends in the coming decades. They will also discuss how to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal 7 on Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
“Astana EXPO-2017” opens on 11 June 2017 with a two-day Ministerial Conference and the Eighth International Forum on Energy for Sustainable Development (11-14 June 2017).
The OSCE will participate in Astana EXPO-2017 through several events:
- At the OSCE section of the International Organizations Plaza visitors will learn about OSCE activities and its comprehensive approach to security, with a particular focus on economic and environmental issues as key factors of that approach.
- On 11 June 2017, OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier will participate in the Ministerial Dialogue of the Eighth International Forum on Energy for Sustainable Development (Energy Ministerial) “Meeting the Challenge of Sustainable Energy”.
- On 14-16 June, the Second Preparatory Meeting of the 25th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum will be held at Nazarbayev University in Astana.
- On 15-16 June, the Office of the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings will convene a Workshop on the Prevention of Trafficking in Human Beings in Supply Chains, through Government Practices and Measures.
