GBEP Bioenergy Week: FAO stresses the need to ensure sustainability of bioenergy in achieving climate goals and SDGs

June 18, 2024 | FAO | Source | 

Over 120 stakeholders from 27 countries gathered for The Global Bioenergy Partnership at FAO headquarters, Rome. The event focused on sustainable bioenergy’s role in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Key discussions include climate change mitigation, food security, land use, and sustainable energy.

FAO Deputy Director-General Maria Helena Semedo highlighted bioenergy’s potential to diversify farmer income, enhance organic waste circularity, and contribute to climate resilience. Italy’s Special Envoy for Climate Change, Francesco Corvaro, stressed interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in bioenergy technologies.

The Week includes high-level panels on policy frameworks, bioenergy-bioeconomy linkages, and clean cooking solutions. FAO also introduced a new FAOSTAT domain on bioenergy, providing data on biofuel production and consumption. Additionally, the inaugural Bioenergy Youth Day recognized Czaneil Gomez from the Philippines with the 2024 GBEP Youth Award for her rice straw biogas research.

GBEP Bioenergy Week serves as a platform for exchanging best practices to meet global energy needs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions sustainably.
