The SEforALL Global Forum will focus on the imperative for just and equitable energy transitions that deliver ambitious climate progress while forging development opportunities for climate-vulnerable countries, particularly Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
The National Energy Authority and the International Energy Renewable Energy Agency through the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative will host the National Expert Workshop to discuss the issues constraining the energy transition efforts with renewable energy deployment and identify opportunities to address these issues and put forward action plans for implementation and addressing cross cutting issues such as capacity and investment.
The event sought to identify innovative financing mechanisms, facilitate technology transfer, and outline capacity-building initiatives crucial for SIDS to achieve their renewable energy commitments.
The webinar featured presentations of key findings from each report, as well as insight from multi-actors experts on the progress, challenges, mechanisms, and potential benefits of the above two SIDS energy transition contexts accelerating renewable energy scale up.
The virtual forum shone a light on climate actions in small islands, showcasing various tailored solutions and technology options to address the distinctive challenges and opportunities of SIDS.
The AIS Regional Consultative Workshop aimed to present draft progress indicators and impact measures developed by IRENA.
