Peacekeeping and Renewable Energy in Somalia

Join us at a panel discussion to launch our latest report, “Powering Ahead: The United Nations and Somalia’s Renewable Energy Opportunity.” Co-hosted with Norway and the United Arab Emirates, the event is part of a series on evaluating energy options in peacekeeping as the UN aims to shift 80% of its energy supply to renewables by 2030.

The session will include a presentation of our report as well as updates on precedent-setting renewable energy projects being developed by the private sector to supply both the UN and local consumers.

April 21, 2022 from 9:00 - 10:15 AM EDT (15:00 - 16:15 CET or 17:00 - 18:15 GST) ()
