Reflecting on 2020 – A year of Hope, Resilience and Adaptability!
2020 has been unlike any year with COVID-19 impacting all our lives. COVID has forced us to change the way we work and for the most part we have been confined to our homes. However, we have managed to bounce back with innovative technologies, remote working and showing global solidarity. These uncertain times have also shown the importance of knowledge platforms like energypedia where we had almost 100,000 unique monthly visitors in some months.
In 2020 we:
- celebrated 8 years of knowledge sharing
- grew from 9,894 to 10,762 registered users
- had on average 80,000 unique monthly visitors
- hosted more than 4,802 energy articles
- launched webinar series on different topics such as: Sustainable Energy in Humanitarian Settings in collaboration with the ICRC and the UNITAR; Capacity Building and Learning on Solar Powered Water Systems in partnership with Oxfam GB and a webinar on Mini-grid, Gender Equality and Productive Use with Power for All.
- Launched the Water, Energy and Food Portal (both English and French version) in collaboration with GIZ's Water Energy and Food Program.
- Compiled articles, resources and funding information on COVID 19 and energy access.
Thank you for being a part of energypedia in 2020 and we look forward to launching new knowledge products and forming new collaborations in 2021!
December 2019: Thank You for an Amazing 2019!
In 2019, we:
- celebrated 7 years of knowledge sharing
- grew from 8,949 to 9,894 registered users
- had on average 64,000 unique visitors per month
- hosted more than 4,700 energy articles
- conducted our biennial energypedia user survey 2019 and got valuable feedback
- launched webinar series on different topics such as: Sustainable Energy in Humanitarian Settings in collaboration with the ICRC and the UNITAR; Mini-grid Webinar Series 2019 in partnership with the HPNET and the WISIONS of Sustainability Initiative and Energy Access Webinar Series 2019 in collaboration with the ACCESS coalition
- launched the PMCC portal to document how municipalities in Mexico are exchanging knowledge on climate change. It was developed jointly with the GIZ
- joined as a media partner for different conferences and workshops
- represented energypedia in international conferences such as the COP25.
Thank you once again for a great 2019! As we move towards 2020, we invite you to be a part of our journey by partnering with us to with energypedia develop new knowledge products (webinars, databases, portals), donating to our initiatives or creating new articles on energypedia.
