The New Development Bank (NDB) will host a seminar focused on financing the sustainable energy transition in India. The global shift to sustainable energy is essential to fight climate change, reduce emissions and promote resilient growth. India and other developing countries face the dual challenge of cutting carbon while meeting rising energy demands. Achieving this requires major investments in clean technologies like solar, wind, green hydrogen, battery storage and smart grids. Affordable, long-term financing is crucial to ensure a just and inclusive transition. NDB plays a key role by mobilising resources, customising financing solutions, and building partnerships to unlock sustainable energy investments that drive economic development, job creation and expand energy access.
The event highlights emerging technologies, innovative financing models and the critical role of multilateral development banks (MDBs) in advancing low-carbon energy systems aligned with global climate and development goals. The seminar provides a platform for policymakers, financiers, industry leaders and researchers to exchange knowledge and forge partnerships that accelerate investments in clean energy technologies and expand access to sustainable power. Special emphasis will be placed on collaborative roles of MDBs, national development banks, and NDB in mobilising resources and de-risking investments.
Key Sessions:
- Opening: Policy targets and financing needs for India’s clean energy growth
- Panel I: Clean energy demand and strategies in emerging markets
- Panel II: Financing solutions and cross-country collaboration
- Panel III: Technology deployment and scaling clean energy innovations
The seminar will feature keynote speeches and panel discussions from government officials, senior NDB representatives, investors, and project developers, offering insights on financing sustainable energy and fostering international cooperation.
