APBest – Asia Pacific Basin for Energy Strategies

The United Nations is bringing together global leaders, governments, civil society, the private sector, youth, and other stakeholders for the 2026 SDG Moment under the theme “Together, We Can Do It.” The event highlights the importance of collective and accelerated action as the world approaches the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While progress has been made across several Goals, challenges such as climate change, inequality, debt, conflict, and financing gaps continue to slow implementation. The 2026 SDG Moment will provide a platform to highlight progress, share practical solutions, strengthen partnerships, and renew commitments toward achieving the promise of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.

The Interceptor is a technology, but the real project is larger. It is about restoring confidence that even our most difficult environmental problems can be addressed when science, government, enterprise, and community work together,” said Antonio Ver, chairman and chief executive of Energies PH.
