• OVERVIEW
• AGENDA
• SPEAKERS

Energy is at the heart of development. Energy makes possible the investments, innovations, and new industries that drive jobs, inclusive growth, and shared prosperity on a more livable planet. Yet 685 million people still live without electricity worldwide, and about 2.1 billion people rely on polluting traditional fuels and technologies to cook their meals. Scaling up renewables and energy efficiency, and investing in electrification at scale, while phasing-down fossil fuels, is critical for providing clean energy.

At this seminar, Demetrios Papathanasiou, Global Director for the World Bank's Energy and Extractives Global Department, will introduce the World Bank's programs in the energy sector. This seminar will be held in hybrid manner (in-person participation or online participation) in English and Japanese with simultaneous interpretation.
