10 co-located streams

Themes in Focus
Unraveling the Enigma of Sustainable Finance and Technology

Green Hydrogen

Decarbonising the planet is one of the goals that countries around the world have set for 2050. To achieve this, decarbonising the production of an element like hydrogen, giving rise to green hydrogen, is one of the keys as this is currently responsible for more than 2 % of total global CO2 emissions

Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage

CCUS involves the capture of CO2, generally from large point sources like power generation or industrial facilities that use either fossil fuels or biomass as fuel.

Energy Transition & Renewable Energy

Energy transition refers to the global energy sector’s shift from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption — including oil, natural gas and coal to that of renewable energy sources such as the likes of wind and solar, as well as lithium-ion batteries

Carbon Markets

Carbon markets are a key element of cap and trade programs intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions where governments or groups of governments cap emissions at a certain overall level and assign limits to entities

Sustainable Financing & Green Financing

Sustainable finance provides funds for addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation, green finance has a broader scope as it also covers other environmental goals while sustainable finance extends its domain to environmental, social and governance factors

Environment Social & Governance (ESG)

ESG in the context of climate change refers to environmentally sustainable practices undertaken by companies in order to mitigate their negative environmental impact while continuing to make a profit.

Net Zero Transition

Net zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) that’s produced and the amount that’s removed from the atmosphere. It can be achieved through a combination of emission reduction and emission removal.

Climate Action Initiative

Climate action coalitions are at working around the world to cut emissions, pursue nature-based solutions, extend sustainable energy and invest in resilient cities

Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage

Carbon capture and storage is a way of reducing carbon emissions, which could be key to helping to tackle global warming by capturing the carbon dioxide produced by power generation or industrial activity and then storing it deep underground.

Carbon Markets

Carbon markets are a key element of cap and trade programs intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions where governments or groups of governments cap emissions at a certain overall level and assign limits to entities
