The Evolution of IGEN ENERGATHON: A Marathon for Energy Action

In alignment with SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy, The Institution of Green Engineers (IGEN) launched the concept of an energy action marathon titled IGEN ENERGATHON, during the height of the COVID-19 crisis. The initiative was inspired by the need for resilient energy discourse and indexed to the 50th Earth Day, symbolizing a renewed global commitment to sustainability.
IGEN ENERGATHON 2020 – The Inception : The first edition, IGEN ENERGATHON 2020, was a groundbreaking world record attempt—a 13.36-hour non-stop virtual conference featuring 40 speakers and 10 partner organizations. The event culminated in energy action recommendations submitted to UN energy policymakers. Recognized for its scale and impact, it received awards from the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records.
IGEN ENERGATHON 2023 – The Second Wave : Building on the success of its debut, the second edition of IGEN ENERGATHON was held in alignment with the 53rd Earth Day, spanning 19.13 continuous hours. The event featured 110 speakers, including 55 presenters, and engaged a global audience of over 15,000 participants. Key insights and policy recommendations were submitted to local, national, and UN energy authorities. This impactful edition was recognized with an award from the World Record Certification Agency (WRCA), Great Britain, for its extensive global outreach and influence.
IGEN ENERGATHON 2024 – The Third Edition : The third edition, IGEN ENERGATHON 2024, marked a remarkable milestone with a 25-hour and 25-minute continuous global marathon. Focused on six critical themes under the banner of ENERGY4SUSTAINABILITY, the event brought together 17 international partner organizations and participants from 17 countries. It culminated in the submission of strategic recommendations to energy policymakers at local, national, and United Nations levels. This edition was honoured with official recognition from the Official World Record (OWR) European Union, for its exceptional duration and impactful global engagement.
IGEN ENERGATHON 2025 – Fourth Edition achieved a historic milestone by setting a world record with a continuous 2025-minute (33 hours 45 minutes) nonstop global energy marathon, engaging over 13,000 participants, 330 marathon speakers, 82 pre-conference speakers, 20 special guests, and 80 organizers, along with contributions from 25 global partners, 25 academic institutions, and 25,000+ wider stakeholders. Conducted across 6 modules and 40 sessions under the Earth Day theme “Our Power & Our Planet,” the event enabled impactful discussions on SDG-linked energy challenges, especially SDGs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The outcome was the formulation of 10 key recommendations submitted to UN Energy 2025, the UN SDG team, and government bodies, strengthening global collaboration, policy direction, and innovation to accelerate the transition toward sustainable and clean energy systems. This edition applied for new World Record and waiting approval.
