Global Off-Grid Solar Finance Summit: Session recordings available

“Solar power is now the cheapest source of electricity in history. The challenge is to ensure that some of the world’s most marginalised communities gain access to this clean, renewable and affordable source of energy. It will drive down carbon emissions and bring dignity and opportunity for millions of people” said UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner during his opening remarks at the Global Off-Grid Solar Finance Summit: The Climate, Development and Investment Opportunity. 

The event, organized by GOGLA, the global association for the off-grid solar energy industry, and supported by GET.invest, a European programme supported by the European Union, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Austria, hosted more than 600 attendees from the energy access and investment worlds to explore the nexus between off-grid solar energy, climate, energy access and development.
