Register for Free   Day 2 Energy Transition 17 November 2020 2 – 4 PM GMT   To reach net-zero by 2050, government recovery plans and updated NDCs must include pathways to overhaul our energy systems. Updated NDCs, government recovery and regional stimulus packages could provide the energy sector with the tools, finance and investment to radically redesign the energy landscape, shift to clean and renewable systems and steer away from a reliance on fossil fuels. Day Two explores how investments today in heating and cooling of buildings as well as clean transportation and grid flexibility infrastructure will ensure the transition to a low-carbon economy, boost regional economies by creating millions of jobs and define net-zero pathways for other industries.   Core Topics:   The NDCs, economic recovery and the energy transition: Driving lasting change in the global energy mix Linking national and regional energy transitions to rebuild a resilient global economy Accelerating investment in energy infrastructure to support the recovery The importance of linking short-term recovery to long-term strategies to achieve the SDGs and align the global economy with the Paris Agreement Scaling up transition-related technologies to create net-zero pathways across industry i.e. green hydrogen and heat pumps.
