Financing a fair energy transition is a challenge: it involves mobilizing and directing resources toward renewable energy sources and moving away from fossil fuel revenues. Furthermore, governments are increasingly redirecting subsidies toward potentially dangerous distractions, including fossil fuel-based hydrogen and carbon capture and storage.

This event will provide insights from different geographic regions—including Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, South Africa, Canada, and India—with speakers taking a close look at the trends, challenges, and opportunities associated with ending fossil fuel subsidies, as well as the unproven technologies that could delay the energy transition.
