3 October 2022
Seeding the future of energy: Public private partnerships to drive energy innovation at scale
Workshop – 11:00 – 12:30 CET
The effects of climate change are becoming more and more evident with each passing day. It is clear that urgent action is needed to reduce GHG emissions dramatically whilst securing stability of and fair access to the energy system. Local governments are in a key position to implement actions toward more sustainable patterns, however, such a swift change cannot be done with public resources alone. Partnerships with the business sector can accelerate implementation at scale. The session will present innovative schemes from Africa, Chinese Taipei and Europe, bringing experts and concrete experience to the discussion in an interactive format. Participants will have the chance to learn and get inspired on topics such as PPPs, international sustainable certifications, PPAs and seed funds, with the possibility to deepen one of them with an expert in break-out rooms.
