The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented challenge for the energy industry with the uncertain economic and energy demand outlook. At the same time, this crisis could help accelerate the transition to a more secure and sustainable energy future when the global economy recovers. Despite a temporary drop in emissions caused by COVID-19, the urgent need to combat climate change remains. How can we seize new growth opportunities and work together towards a low carbon energy future? Against this backdrop, SIEW 2020 will provide a platform for global energy stakeholders to share best practices and effect change across the energy industry.

On the SIEW 2020 theme, Dr Koh Poh Koon, Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Trade and Industry, said: "The theme highlights how governments and industries are faced with the urgent challenge of growing the economy in a sustainable manner. The uncertain global economic outlook would present even more challenges for the energy sector. I look forward to the meaningful discussions at SIEW on how we can create a low carbon energy future together."
