The Forum opens with remarks from UN leadership and Heads of State. Together, these remarks frame the urgency of the global energy transition and the gap between current commitments and the pace of change required to stay on a 1.5°C pathway, setting the terms for the day's working sessions on investment, infrastructure and policy.

Participants are called upon to share perspectives on accelerating a clean, just and secure energy transition. Conversations will surface practical solutions across investment models, grid infrastructure, policy enablers and energy access in underserved markets, helping to shape a stronger collective business response that highlights participants’ contributions to the Secretary-General's call to action.
