Global Call for Nominations: Outstanding Carbon Neutrality and Energy Transition Cases

The International Society for Energy Transition Studies (ISETS) welcomes enterprises, institutions, and professionals around the world to recommend or self-nominate outstanding cases in the fields of carbon neutrality and energy transition.

This initiative aims to highlight innovative practices, technologies and solutions that significantly contribute to the global efforts towards achieving a sustainable low-carbon future.

We invite nominations from all sectors, including but not limited to, renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, carbon capture, utilization and storage as well as green infrastructure. The nominated cases can range from groundbreaking research, transformative projects or practices, effective policies to revolutionary products or technologies.

ISETS, a non-profit professional platform headquartered in Australia is dedicated to empowering global sustainable energy transition. It provides a global platform for industries, professionals, governments and research institutions from different countries and regions to share knowledge, experiences and case studies in energy transition.

Supported by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific （ESCAP), ISETS successfully held its inaugural annual conference in October 2023 at the UN regional headquarters in Bangkok. During her opening remarks, Ms. Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Secretary of the ESCAP, expressed her anticipation that ISETS, through its network of dialogue and information sharing on technologies and solutions, will become a pivotal hub for knowledge and collaboration on energy transition, with a focus on supporting developing and least developed countries and regions.

To better utilize the ISETS platform, companies, institutions, and professionals worldwide are warmly invited to recommend or self-nominate outstanding carbon neutrality cases to ISETS. These cases will be continuously promoted through our network.
