How to reconcile Economy and Ecology? From decarbonation to regeneration, applications and best practices
Join the 1st Global Solar Council event at COP27 where we answer the question “How to reconcile Economy and Ecology?“.
From decarbonisation to regeneration, application and best practices.
Solar Energy as a decarbonated and cheapest Energy is being deployed more and more massively across the globe. This deployment requests space and land, and Solar infrastructure is installed for a pretty long time, mostly 20 to 30 even 40 years. We believe that it is a challenge but also an opportunity. So far climate change mitigation and adaptation focused on carbon neutrality (Zero net carbon) and sustainable finance developed carbon markets. But finance and business models will have to evolve to embrace the next era’s challenge of tackling soil degradation and biodiversity loss.
This panel discussion proposes introducing evolutions in the regulatory framework mainly in Europe and exploring case studies and best practices integrating nature-based solutions with hard solar infrastructures, conciling low-tech and high-tech.
All organisations and individuals attending COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) are welcome to visit and attend the sessions in person at our stand:
