GEAPP Hosts Energy Transition Dialogues to Accelerate Positive Pathways for People and Planet
The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) in collaboration with the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) is set to host the inaugural edition of The Energy Transition Dialogues (TETD) from 1 – 3 November, 2023 at Hyatt Regency, New Delhi.
TETD will feature focused discussions on experiences gathered through programs around six thematic pillars. These include enhancing RE/BESS to achieve 50GW per annum, scaling up energy efficiency, utility modernization, decarbonization of transport, people-positive energy transition, and clean energy financing. The event aims to present a joint communiqué, serving as a roadmap for clean energy transitions through cross-sectoral collaborations.
Saurabh Kumar, Vice President – India, GEAPP, said, “India’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2070 has been recognised by the world as leading by example, especially for the Global South. The Dialogues is a commendable step towards a cleaner, greener future. However, it is important that the transition to clean, renewable energy is inclusive and people-centric. With the largest population in the world, a successful transition would serve as an effective example and pave the way for the rest of the world. These Dialogues are a step in the larger attempt to adopt clean energy and work for sustainable development and achieve climate resilience. We hope that the unique challenges facing the country and the world at large with regard to this transition are addressed and solutions are devised during the course of the event.”
India’s strides in implementing green energy solutions are commendable, yet the transition toward a green energy economy must align with the aspirations of both its population and the global community. This inclusive and holistic approach will ensure that the energy transition benefits all stakeholders.
GEAPP and ORF are dedicated to fostering meaningful change and expediting the transition to a sustainable energy future. The Energy Transition Dialogues will provide India with a unique opportunity to showcase its progress on the world stage, setting a precedent for other nations to adopt similar sustainable energy solutions.
