SUMMARY:GSMA webinar - Digitalising Innovative Finance: Carbon credits and results-based financing
DESCRIPTION:There is a large funding gap for essential services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The OECD estimates that $6.9 trillion a year is required up to 2030 to meet climate and SDG objectives. While there is a broad consensus among the donor community that private capital should be mobilised to help fill the funding gap\, initiatives to ‘crowd-in’ private sector capital have so far fallen short of expectations. \nStart-ups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often struggle to access the right type of financing to achieve impact at scale. This is common in sectors that face regulatory risks such as utility services\, asset-heavy models (e.g. e-mobility\, energy or productive use equipment) or services targeting low-income customers (e.g. clean cooking\, water\, sanitation and hygiene\, or off-grid solar). \nThe GSMA Digital Utilities programme and Mondato Insights recently published a report on the role of digital technology in enabling access to innovative financing instruments to early-stage start-ups\, SMEs\, and service providers in LMICs. \nIn our two-part webinar series on the report\, we are focusing on some of the financing instruments that were covered\, and invite key experts and practitioners to share their perspectives. \nThis first webinar focusses on the role of digital technology in making access to results-based financing and carbon credits more efficient\, transparent and catalytic. \nWe will be joined by a great group of speakers from start-ups\, the private sector and enabling organisations that are directly involved in leveraging digital tools for significant results-based financing (RBF) and carbon credit programmes. \nSpeakers:\n- Zach White\, Senior Insights Manager\, GSMA Digital Utilities\n- Samuel Miles\, Consultant\, Mondato Insights & Chancellor's Fellow UC Berkeley\n- George Kibala Bauer\, Director\, GSMA Digital Utiltiies\n- Susan Smith\, VP Finance Solutions - Public Sector\, Odyssey\n- Stefan Zelazny\, Managing Director\, Access to Energy Institute\n- Kyle Hamilton\, Senior Manager - Strategy and Partnerships\, Nuru\n- Ben Jeffreys\, CEO\, ATEC\n- Daniel Kammen\, James and Katherine Lau Distinguished Professor of Sustainability\, University of California Berkeley

SUMMARY:Future of Energy
DESCRIPTION:On 29 February & 1 March 2024\, FMO and Solarplaza will host the 'Future of Energy' summit in Amsterdam\, uniting a global mix of top project developers\, financial institutions and investors\, service providers\, and asset owners to tackle the strategic challenges of accelerating the renewable energy transition in emerging markets. \nThe global energy and climate future hinges on emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) to successfully transition to clean energy systems. For EMDEs\, accelerating the deployment of renewables can bolster their energy access and security\, reduce reliance on fossil fuels\, and meet net-zero targets. Currently\, only a fraction of global clean energy investments flows into EMDEs. How can we redirect attention and financial efforts to the developing world and harness the potential of RE technology to overcome regional challenges related to uncertain policy frameworks\, the rising cost of capital\, and the perceived increase of investment risks? \n'Future of Energy' is a must-attend event for everyone rising to the challenge of RE project development & financing in Asia\, Africa\, Latin America\, and Eastern Europe. The scope of this 5th edition will encompass renewables in the broadest sense\, including hybrid (wind & solar) applications\, green hydrogen\, energy storage\, e-mobility\, distributed energy\, and grid infrastructure. Through networking opportunities\, interactive panel discussions\, and world-class keynotes\, 'Future of Energy' will condense a year of business development into two days of learning\, network-building\, and good fun!

SUMMARY:COP28 side event: Innovative renewable solutions in agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The session aims to address the critical issues surrounding the heavy dependence on imported and volatile fossil fuels within global agri-food systems\, particularly focusing on developing countries’ agriculture sector. With fossil fuels accounting for a significant portion of energy consumption in food systems\, resulting in high greenhouse gas emissions\, there is a pressing need to transition towards renewable energy solutions. \nThe event will explore the transformative potential of renewable energy in powering the agriculture sector and fostering a low-emission\, climate-resilient food system. Its primary objectives include promoting the adoption of productive use of renewable energy (PURE) technologies to modernize agriculture\, enhance food and water security\, empower micro\, small\, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs)\, and electrify the supporting infrastructure (e.g. storage\, transport). \nAdditionally\, it seeks to identify and address barriers to PURE technology adoption\, engage global stakeholders to emphasize the need for increased financing and improved policies\, and ignite transformative dialogues about renewable energy's potential to achieve sustainable development goals. Finally\, the session will attract financial institutions' focus on the essential channeling of sustainable finance toward agri-food systems

SUMMARY:Demand-side subsidies webinar 4: Exit strategy approaches for subsidy programmes
DESCRIPTION:The fourth webinar in the Demand-side Subsidies for Energy Access Webinar Series focuses on exit strategy approaches within the context of energy access subsidies. While universal access may require ongoing subsidies\, an exit strategy should be integrated into program design. \nThis webinar\, moderated by GOGLA\, will engage in discussions on designing an exit strategy that aligns with the project's overarching goals for long-term access. Furthermore\, we will examine the feasibility of phasing out subsidies once the target is met\, exploring the availability of adequate funds to fulfil this objective or assessing the potential need for recurrent subsidies.

SUMMARY:Power for All webinar: Boosting East Africa's agrifood systems through renewable energy
DESCRIPTION:The upcoming webinar 'Empowering Smallholder Farmers: Boosting Agricultural Productivity Through Distributed Renewable Energy Policies to Attract Private Sector Investment'\, is the next feature in Power for All’s Agriculture Webinar series. This session will focus on how alignment on policy\, regulation\, and finance can expand distributed renewable energy (DRE) and practically benefit East Africa's agricultural sector. The session will see leading policymakers from Kenya\, Uganda\, and Ethiopia\, discussing the vital policy and investment strategies needed to evolve food systems and mitigate their climate impact. \nRepresenting over 80% of global farmers and producing nearly a third of the world’s food\, smallholder farmers are vital to global food systems\, especially in the Global South. The agricultural sector\, heavily reliant on fossil fuels\, accounts for over 30% of global emissions. Facing strained food systems and a major role in climate change\, urgent action is needed to meet the expected 60% increase in food demand by 2050 and avert a major global crisis. \nThe Global South\, contributing least to the food-climate crisis\, faces its severest impacts. This disparity threatens food systems in sub-Saharan Africa\, complicating efforts to satisfy the growing population's food needs. \nThe Webinar will feature key policymakers in Kenya\, Uganda\, and Ethiopia\, discussing how encouraging strategic renewable energy investments can transform agriculture into a catalyst for climate resilience. \nPower for All's recent research reveals that transitioning just five key farming technologies to renewable energy for Africa's smallholder farmers can cut emissions by 10% and significantly elevate the continent's economy by $24.5 billion. \nPanelists \n\nHizkyas Dufera\, Senior Advisor\, Ministry of Irrigation and Lowlands\, Govt. of Ethiopia\nDan K Marangu\, Director of Renewable Energy\, Ministry of Energy\, Govt. of Kenya\nDominic Banaga Mucunguzi : Principal Engineer\, Irrigation and Drainage\, Ministry of Agriculture\, Animal Industry and Fisheries\, Govt of Uganda\n\nSession Moderated by Brian Kawuma\, Powering Agriculture Director\, Power for All

SUMMARY:Demand-side Subsidies for Energy Access Webinar 3 | Delivery Models for Subsidies & Verification
DESCRIPTION:The End User Subsidy Lab (EUSL)\, a joint initiative among partners ESMAP/Lighting Global\, GOGLA\, Energising Development (EnDev)\, and the Clean Cook Alliance (CCA)\, is a platform for pooling knowledge\, technical expertise\, and funding for demand-side subsidies (DSS). This webinar series organized by the EUSL will guide us through the key elements of designing demand-side subsidies programmes to facilitate the implementation of overarching energy access strategies. Each webinar will be 75 minutes with the main objective to support in-depth dialogue and discussion around lessons learned\, challenges\, and ‘how to’. \nThe third webinar focuses on various methods of delivering subsidies & verification methods. Delivery may be through companies\, vouchers\, automatic deposit\, via results-based financing (RBF)\, or with concessional consumer finance. Subsequently\, we will consider how verification methods can best support the goal of the subsidy program and measure results. We will discuss how best to monitor DSS to ensure they are being properly translated into lower prices for the beneficiary and reach the intended target group. \nKey questions that will be discussed include: What are the advantages and disadvantages of various delivery models? What should be considered when selecting an appropriate delivery channel? How should the subsidy disbursement be structured to ensure optimal uptake? What (digital) verification methods exist and when can / should they be used? How can verification cost\, time and effectiveness be balanced to ensure optimal implementation and use of public funds? This webinar\, moderated by GOGLA\, will engage in discussion around the benefits\, challenges\, and insights of various delivery and verification approaches\, and will showcase the experience of relevant practitioners.
