COP 27 GWEC Wind and Solar Pavilion: How can the public and private sector finance the transition away from coal towards renewables? The challenge of implementation in Asia
9 listopada, 2022 10:00 am - 11:00 pm
This session will explore successful coal transitions and look towards how the public and private sector can finance and create the political buy-in for the transition away from coal and towards renewables in Asia. This will be an opportunity to facilitate knowledge exchange so that coal-dependent jurisdictions can implement innovative decarbonization pathways. This session would also showcase effective examples of public finance being targeted to mobilise large-scale private finance in renewables, either via fossil fuel phaseout programmes, innovation grants, tariff support, or otherwise.
