Session Description
The conclusion of UNFCCC COP28 has set a historic precedent, signaling the "beginning of the end" of the fossil fuel era and paving the way for a swift, just, and equitable global transition. This session will delve into the wide-ranging implications of this global target across different sectors, focusing on the urgent actions needed, emerging technologies, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The session will also examine the outcomes of the First Global Stocktake, which calls for a tripling of renewable energy capacity and a doubling of energy efficiency by 2030. Join us to explore how the development and transmission of renewable energy must consider its impact on nature and local communities, particularly those dependent on natural resources, and how the sector can contribute to nature-positive approaches to help reverse global biodiversity loss.
