In particular\, by analysing relevant experiences and providing scientific evidence on sustainable bioenergy production\, the co nference contributed  to global debates on the development of multilatera l environmental agreements (including COP21)\, as well as on the achieveme nt of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, in particular SDG 7: “ensur e access to affordable\, reliable\, sustainable\, and modern energy for al l”.This high-level conference was organized by the Institute for Advance d Sustainability Studies (IASS)\, and the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF ).  It was supported by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture\, th e International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)\, GIZ and the Ger man Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
