Impact investing in the energy transition

The climate crisis is one of the foremost environmental challenges facing us - and certainly the one that receives the most attention. The primary driver of this crisis - our dependency on fossil fuels - was to be tackled by undertaking a global energy transition; where we change our energy mix to utilize renewables instead. However, with the US administration questioning the factuality of this crisis and pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, it would seem that this transition is at risk of being derailed.

Or is that fear misplaced?

Globally, the share of renewables as the source of our energy continues to grow, and some analysts claim that China - the largest global CO2 emitter - has peaked in emissions, thanks to years of aggressively ramping up its own renewable capacity. Could it be that the energy transition has hit the tipping point already, or we are celebrating victory too soon?

Join us as we ask these questions to the experts who work actively in this sector, and can share the facts from the ground:

• What is the current state of the energy transition, especially in the EU and the Netherlands?
• Where are investments needed? And where are the bottlenecks?
• Does positioning these investments as being impact generating support fundraising?
• What is the likely evolution of the energy sector?
