Mount Olympus: Plenary Sessions

Athenian Democracy: Ensuring a green and equitable global transition – Government ministers panel

What better place to convene our esteemed government ministry representatives than the birthplace of democracy? We gather to address one of the most pressing environmental and social challenges of our time: how to balance achieving net-zero emissions and reduced carbon with the need for economic growth and affordable energy in developing nations. Can we establish rules and partnerships between developing governments, financial institutions, and agencies to harmonise development and climate objectives?

Mount Olympus: Plenary Sessions

Meet the Argonauts: ECA & DFI CEO hotseat

We gather leaders of the development, export and agency finance world for a series of back-to-back interviews taking place on the main plenary over the course of the event. We delve deep into how they are structuring their organisations to respond to escalating climate change threats, accelerate energy transition, finance innovation and emerging technologies, and provide increased flexibility and accessibility to unlock more critical projects. How will agencies manage the required growth and the increasingly public role associated with their involvement in energy transition, energy security, economic development, and geopolitics, balancing stakeholders: government, industry, and the public?
