Clean Energy Leader’s Dialogue

Asia Clean Energy Summit

Panel Discussion: Global trends in clean energy  Renewables added more to global energy generation capacity than all other technologies combined; For the first time, developing world investments in renewables (up 19% in 2015) topped developed nations’ (down 8%); World record total of USD 286 billion invested in renewables last year; makes USD 2.3 trillion over 12 years. Despite the ambitious signals from COP 21 in Paris and the growing capacity of new installed renewable energy, there is still a long way to go. The session will cover: Potential and barriers for scaling up penetration of clean energy in Asia.

• Policy and regulatory trends
• Funding mechanisms
• Next generation clean energy trends
