Join leading experts on the the energy transition and how to fund it in the lead up to COP30. A joint webinar by AEE and We Don't Have Time.
Meet policymakers and business leaders for a crucial discussion on how to implement and fund the energy transition.
COP30 comes at a crucial moment. As we are on track to overshoot the 1.5°C target, parties are urged to submit updated and more ambitious national climate plans (NDCs). It is more important than ever to look to rapid and efficient climate solutions.
The energy sector can lead the way. The technology is there, as is the know-how. Now, funding is needed to unlock implementation at scale. In this webinar, we unwrap how the energy industry can meet the goals to triple renewable energy generation and double energy efficiency progress by 2030. How do we turn pledges into partnerships?
This is an exclusive webinar for invited participants from the AEE and We Don't Have Time networks. Zoom link provided upon registration.
Times in EDT/CEST
Welcome from We Don't Have Time and AEE.
With:
What are the new technologies being developed, and how can they be used to accelerate the energy transition? Listen to experts from the business sector share the latest news and trends in electrification, clean tech, and AI.
With:
Energy efficiency is the first fuel of the energy transition. COP29 outlined a goal to double global energy efficiency progress by 2030. Going into COP30, where are we on this goal? And what do we need to achieve it?
With:
Goals and ambitions are an important first step, but at the end of the day, the energy transition needs plans and people to make it happen. Listen to experts highlight how to scale the workforce necessary to bring the energy transition plans to life.
With: TBA
At COP30, countries are asked to submit updated climate plans with emission targets for 2035. So far, only a fraction have been submitted. In this conversation, we highlight the importance of national climate plans to unlock funding for the energy transition. We will also discuss existing climate finance solutions and how they can be implemented when federal funding is insufficient.
