An interactive session aiming to find lasting solutions to clean energy access for refugees. Providing energy for the growing number of refugee settlements around the world comes at a high cost - for humanitarian organisations, for the users, and for the environment. The current approach, based on short-term grants and donations, is not sustainable. This session explores innovative ways to promote market-based solutions that increase the use of clean energy sources. SNV’s experiences from Kenya show how sustainable and commercially viable supply and distribution models for quality cookstoves and PicoPV can be maintained in an approach that includes both the refugees and the host communities, generating employment, local entrepreneurship opportunities, and improved livelihoods. | An interactive session aiming to find lasting solutions to clean energy access for refugees.

Innovative Energy Systems An interactive session aiming to find lasting solutions to clean energy access for refugees. Providing energy for the growing number of refugee settlements around the world comes at a high cost - for humanitarian organisations, for the users, and for the environment. The current approach, based on short-term grants and donations, is not sustainable. This session explores innovative ways to promote market-based solutions that increase the use of clean energy sources. SNV’s experiences from Kenya show how sustainable and commercially viable supply and distribution models for quality cookstoves and PicoPV can be maintained in an approach that includes both the refugees and the host communities, generating employment, local entrepreneurship opportunities, and improved livelihoods. Using the perspectives of panel members as a starting point, we will discuss with the audience how we can provide long-term solutions to the energy challenge in refugee settlements. https://interactive.snv.org/cop-24#180797 |

11:30—13:00 Room 5 |
Stronger Together: Showcasing Success of Renewable Energy Technologies Working Together Renewable energies (solar, wind, biomass, hydro & geothermal) are a real and ready solution to combat dangerous climate change facing the world today. They also provide jobs, improve health and support local economic development. This event will showcase strength of renewables working together. Speakers: Speakers will be representatives of the leading international renewable energy associations and experts working at different geographical levels in renewable energy deployment. Following the presentations, the panelists will discuss how to replicate and scale up these best practice cases. |
