Droit à l'énergie SOS futur

Droit à l'énergie SOS futur (abbreviated DAE) is an international non-governmental organization of French origin that works for access to energy and the recognition of energy as a fundamental human right. Its international office is based in Paris. The organization was created in 2000 and holds special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). According to its statutes, DAE acts for "the recognition of the right to energy as a fundamental human right, for the sharing of energy resources and the protection of the environment." Its objectives are aligned with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. The organization brings together nearly 500 civil-society organizations from more than 70 countries across four continents, representing close to 50 million members (figure cited without a confirmed reference). DAE organizes global and regional forums that enable dialogue among several thousand participants from around a hundred countries, including associations, trade unions, NGOs, governments, researchers and leaders of major energy-sector companies. For the NGO, these meetings are a necessary preliminary step toward formulating a charter of the fundamental right to energy and the emergence of a global energy ethic. DAE associates major public and private industrial operators in the energy sector with its objectives and projects, and seeks to integrate this right into the fundamental texts and activities of European and international institutions. The organization's public communication highlights global energy challenges: primary energy demand expected to double by 2050, 1.4 billion people without access to electricity, 2.8 billion without clean cooking, and the need to invest in modernizing aging energy infrastructure while reducing environmental impacts. It also emphasizes energy inequality and energy poverty, noting that 75 to 125 million people in the EU struggle to access electricity for financial reasons.

Its public communication frames energy as a survival issue, citing global challenges such as rising primary energy demand, lack of electricity access for 1.4 billion people, lack of clean cooking for 2.8 billion people, aging energy infrastructure, and energy poverty affecting 75 to 125 million people in the EU.
