The International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum (IVECF), therefore, seeks to highlight the action-oriented steps required to align sustainable development with decarbonization pathways. The Forum is a multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder, and inter-disciplinary platform that aims to advance dialogue on sustainable energy, climate action, and green industrialization. The 2026 edition is being convened in the context of global efforts to decarbonize energy systems, enhance energy security, and address persistent energy poverty. It is expected to reflect ongoing debates around how to balance climate ambition with development needs, especially those of emerging and developing economies.
