EPP's work highlighted in the UN Security Council

EPP's efforts to encourage renewable energy transitions in UN peace operations were explicitly highlighted in the UN Security Council last week in the statement from the UAE to the Council on a meeting on Climate and Security. The full statement is available here, and the relevant passage is below : 

…we believe in a principle of “do no harm” for Council-mandated missions.  Missions should have enhanced guidance and internal controls to ensure that they are not intensifying local climate effects, such as groundwater depletion or deforestation.  Renewables should also become the first consideration for mission energy supply, with the added benefit that they are cheaper than diesel in almost all multi-year deployments and create long-term infrastructure for local communities as part of a “peace dividend.”  We highlight the work of Energy Peace Partners and the International Renewable Energy Agency in this regard.
