At the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change conference of parties in Copenhagen in December 2009, U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced that he would host the first Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) to bring together ministers with responsibility for clean energy technologies from the world’s major economies and ministers from a select number of smaller countries that are leading in various areas of clean energy. By working together, these governments can accomplish more than by working alone. The CEM’s initiatives build on Technology Action Plans that were released by the Major Economies Forum Global Partnership in December 2009, which laid out best practice blueprints for action in key technology areas.

Mission Innovation (MI) is the main global forum where governments connect to accelerate clean energy innovation. Launched alongside the Paris Agreement in 2015, Mission Innovation brings together governments, corporates, investors and academia to enable widely affordable clean energy. It combines the efforts of governments responsible for more than 90% of global investments in clean energy research, development and demonstration. Mission Innovation has become a catalyst for strengthened global cooperation on clean energy innovation as part of an urgent and lasting response to climate change.

“Chile can go from being an importer of fossil fuels to an exporter of clean energy. This is due to its great natural resource potential. We have the potential to establish or increase 70 times the capacity of renewable energy than what we have today, contributing to a sustainable recovery and to decarbonize the planet. In this way consolidating the clean energy era and leaving the coal era behind.”
