Description

Co-initiated by the Global Refugee-Led Network (GRN), the Global Platform for Action (GPA) for Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), this event is centred around the self-representation of refugees and other displaced people in discussing energy activities and green energy as a pathway to employment. Event participants will be asked to engage as active listeners as they hear from our panellists, refugee advocates and displaced entrepreneurs, on their views of energy and its role in their communities. This event will highlight the challenges and opportunities for job creation with the help of renewable energy options and solutions. The event will focus on what needs to be done to support refugee-led action in sustainable energy activities and the importance of convening different stakeholders working within governments, the development, humanitarian, and the energy sectors, by providing an opportunity to directly hear from displaced people on the role of energy in their lives.
