COP side event - Beyond Blending: Climate finance for clean energy and adaptation businesses in developing countries
2024-11-16 13:45 - 14:45 (Asia/Baku) | COP29 – Side Event Room 2, Baku, Azerbaijan
The developing world faces a pressing challenge: driving climate action while ensuring universal energy access and economic growth. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are critical to this effort, yet they are often held back by complex financial barriers. As the world prepares for the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance and pushes to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030, the need for practical, scalable financial solutions is more urgent than ever.
SMEs leading clean energy and adaptation projects are confronted with significant risks and limited access to finance. Early-stage funding is scarce, and private equity and debt options often come with high costs and restrictive terms. Catalytic capital, which mitigates risk and provides early-stage support, offers a direct path to overcoming these hurdles. By focusing on actionable solutions, this session will examine where catalytic capital is working, where it’s falling short, and how we can scale finance to accelerate climate action.
The event, hosted by REEEP, Acumen, the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) , will deliver key takeaways on effective financial mechanisms. It will begin with a framing fireside chat featuring a leading energy entrepreneur, offering a real-world example of overcoming financial barriers. An expert panel of finance leaders, government representatives, and energy innovators will then share success stories and pinpoint gaps, offering tangible solutions to scale clean energy in developing markets.
Attendees will leave with practical insights into how blended finance, credit guarantees and concessional loans are unlocking private investment. The discussion will focus on where and why these tools are succeeding and, more importantly, how we can replicate and expand these models to create jobs, improve energy access and cut emissions across the Global South.

Zimbabwe-Zambia energy projects summit
2024-11-18 - 2024-11-20 | Elephant Hills Resort, 328 Park Way, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
The Zimbabwe-Zambia Energy Projects Summit, taking place from 18–20 November 2024, at the magnificent Elephant Hills Resort, Victoria Falls.

COP side event: Enhancing Climate Resilience in agri-food value chains through Productive Use of Renewable Energy (PURE)
2024-11-18 10:00 - 23:00 (Asia/Baku) | UNIDO pavillion, Blue zone COP29, Baku, Azerbaijan
With the increasing impacts of climate change, there is a critical need to enhance resilience across agri-food value chains, especially in vulnerable regions that rely on agriculture for livelihoods and food security. REEEP and GOGLA are hosting a session aligning with COP29’s emphasis on climate adaptation and resilience, focusing on how distributed renewable energy can serve as a catalyst for sustainable, climate-smart agriculture. It seeks to demonstrate how productive use of renewable energy (PURE) solutions can maximize productivity, reduce food waste and emissions and foster resilience in agriculture against climate shocks, crucial for global food security and achieving NDC goals.
Agriculture is among the most climate-sensitive sectors, leaving rural communities especially vulnerable to climate shocks. Solar off-grid electricity and productive use technologies are essential for modernizing agriculture, fostering green growth, and enhancing food security in rural off-grid areas. By integrating distributed renewable energy solutions, the sector can reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, cut operational costs and increase productivity sustainably, enabling irrigation, processing and preservation.
Solar irrigation systems are reducing reliance on rain-fed agricultural production and can provide a sustainable way to increase food production. For example, research by 60 Decibels on solar water pump users in Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia found that 65% reported a significant increase in productivity, while an additional 31% noted a moderate increase. Refrigeration units, walk-in cold rooms, and other cold storage facilities support food preservation. In India, EcoZen has developed over 850 cold storage units, benefiting more than 70,000 farmers, and has enhanced these solutions with its EcoConnect platform, which connects farmers directly to markets. Solar-powered agro-processing solutions like solar mills and solar dryers can also enhance food security, reduce post-harvest losses and create employment.
When these PURE solutions are complemented with increased knowledge of improved agricultural practices, market linkages, and the right policy environment, they can improve economic opportunities for the most climate vulnerable population. This transition to renewables in agri-food value chains not only mitigates climate impact but also enhances community resilience, directly supporting the broader climate adaptation agenda.

Session Objectives:

Explore how PURE technologies and solutions contribute to a resilient, low-emission and high-value agri-food sector
Discuss ongoing interventions to tackle barriers to adoption and access for different actors
Showcase practical end-user centric examples from agriculture and energy experiences
Emphasise the need for innovative financial and delivery models for farmers

WEBINAR Learning from innovative businesses in the sustainable cooling sector
2025-01-28 12:00 - 13:30 (Africa/Johannesburg) | virtual
As global temperatures rise and the impacts of climate change become increasingly pronounced, the need for sustainable cooling products has never been more critical, especially for the most vulnerable and energy-limited communities.
Sustainable cold chain solutions can transform farming and business sectors by boosting productivity, creating jobs, and driving economic development. By making sustainable cooling more accessible and affordable, cooling technologies offer a promising pathway to addressing climate challenges while supporting key sectors in off-grid and weak-grid areas.
Productivity and efficiency
Effective cold chains play a vital role in the reduction food spoilage and waste, ensuring that more produce reaches the market in good condition, which increases the overall yield and profitability for farmers and businesses. The development and maintenance of cold chain infrastructure has the potential to create job opportunities, ranging from construction and maintenance to logistics and management. By reducing losses and improving the quality of perishable goods, cold chains enhance the competitiveness of local products in both domestic and international markets, leading to increased trade and investment.
Quality of life
The impact of cooling technologies on quality of life and health is also significant, as they prevent the growth of pathogens in food and medicines, reducing disease transmission, and improving overall health. Additionally, they help maintain the efficacy of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, ensuring that essential medicines remain effective.
This webinar will provide an overview of the role of sustainable cooling products and solutions, exploring challenges around uptake and how innovation is helping to address these barriers. The panel will feature speakers from innovation companies who feature in the latest Energy Catalyst report - ‘Learning from innovative businesses in the sustainable cooling sector’ and expert organisations.
