About us

Our mission

Our organization Right to Energy is fighting for a better access to sustainable energy for all, in every region of the world. Among other means of action, we believe the implementation of a World Day of Sustainable Energy Access for All and the recognition of the right to energy as a fundamental right by the United Nations.

Right to Energy, which fully supports the Kyoto Protocol, considers that none of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will be achieved without access to energy in the countries or regions, without prejudice to the modes of production and the organization of country-specifi c energy systems; allowing them to remain masters of their choice.

Right to Energy recognizes the efforts by the UN, especially by the proclamation of the year 2012 “International Year of Sustainable Energy for all”. In order to reinforce decisions already taken and future initiatives, Right to Energy proposes that the UN accompanies in its project of Implementing a World Day of Sustainable Energy Access for All which will be an annual highlight of mobilization of all the sector’s stakeholders (international institutions, governments, corporations and civil society). This day is meant, not an end in itself but as an essential tool to measure annual progress of the struggle for the expansion of the right of access to energy. Our NGO has also the support of the World Energy Council (WEC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) for its proposal for a global day of access to energy.
