Title: Exploring Alternative Renewable Energy Financing Pathways
Format: Virtual Lecture
Date and Time: 16:00-18:00 (GMT+2), 16 November 2023
The upcoming virtual lecture invites a conversation about alternative financing models for renewable energy technology, diverging from the conventional reliance on multinational corporations public-private partnerships. The central focus lies on addressing the capital needs essential for transitioning to renewable energy that considers sustainable production and consumption, restorative practice of planetary systems, energy access and affordability.Recognizing the government sector's budget constraints, hinders their ability to fund the transition adequately, this conversation places emphasis on forging partnerships broader than the public and private sector. The primary aim is to engage with possibilities of various public-public partnerships that might ensure a more equitable and just energy transition. The lecture also underscores the recognition of energy as a fundamental social need (SDG 7) and explores the concept of renewable energy as a 'public good' within the framework of a just transition.
