The United Arab Emirates and Norway, in collaboration with Powering Peace (an initiative of Energy Peace Partners and the Stimson Center), are convening a webinar on transitioning energy supply and designing a positive legacy for communities based on field experience from Somalia.
The session will include a presentation on Powering Peace’s new report, Powering Ahead: The United Nations and Somalia’s Renewable Energy Opportunity, as well as updates on several precedent-setting renewable energy projects that are being developed by the private sector to supply the UN and local consumers.
The webinar is a part of the UAE-Norway-Powering Peace series on evaluating energy options in peacekeeping missions as the UN aims to shift 80% of its energy supply to renewables by 2030.
