Listen to a panel discussion moderated by Executive Director, Dr. Wayne Archibald on promoting renewable energy in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). This side event will explore how SIDS can strategically leverage climate finance to enhance national capacities and build climate-resilient infrastructure. Key topics include pathways for reducing fossil fuel dependence and guiding these regions toward sustainable futures. The discussion will also cover the evolution of power infrastructure in SIDS and feature case studies from countries already undergoing this transition, demonstrating how careful technology selection can help SIDS overcome unique barriers to achieving Net-Zero.
Delivering expertise, vision, and global experience in climate finance & renewable energy.
