As part of San Francisco Climate Week, CPI, Energy Peace Partners, Honnold Foundation, and Skyline Foundation are presenting this two-part interactive discussion on promising opportunities to scale distributed renewable energy in some of the hardest-to-reach communities globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an uncertain geopolitical landscape where collective political will and financial resources for climate action are shrinking, the hardest-to-reach communities risk losing the most. Yet it is these communities where accelerating climate action can have outsized impacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u200bThis dynamic and participatory gathering will highlight the impact of distributed renewable energy systems in communities that are remote and difficult to serve, and explore the range of financing solutions that enable them to succeed and scale. This panel will also explore the transformative power of community-scale renewable energy, including accelerating social and economic development, addressing historic marginalization, reducing conflict dynamics, and supporting long-term peace and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u200bThe event will be divided into two 30-45 minute sessions, structured as moderated conversations with different groupings of expert panelists. Panelists in the first session will represent local organizations and will focus on the benefits of distributed renewable energy projects in hard-to-reach communities. Panelists in the second session will focus on emerging climate finance solutions that are helping to close the investment gap in these and other challenging markets, particularly given the urgency of the current moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
