At the #IVECF roundtable on enabling green industrialization at scale, speakers highlight that concessional finance alone won’t deliver scale: commercial capital is key, but requires de-risking, demand certainty & lower cost of capital in emerging markets. #energy
How can cross-border corridors become engines of green growth? At #IVECF, speakers from Africa, Central Asia & beyond explored how linking #energy, transport & industry can build resilient regional value chains, create local jobs & support climate-aligned industrial transformation. #SDG7
At #IVECF, Haneen Aljuhani, IEEE Young Professionals, underscores that young professionals are driving the #energytransition but still lack a seat at the decision-making table. Highlights that inclusion is key to accelerating innovation. #climate #energy
The second day of #IVECF opens with speakers highlighting that the #energytransition is no longer just about #climate but about competitiveness, security and development, and must drive real economic transformation. #energy
During the #IVECF roundtable on green industrialization for stability & shared prosperity, speakers underscore that partnerships, access to concessional finance & regional cooperation are essential to deliver a just #energytransition that creates livelihoods and leaves no one behind.
At #IVECF 2026, Julius Maada Bio, President of Sierra Leone, emphasizes the #energy transition is not just about “megawatts” but should be measured by how much value is created & how many lives are transformed, stressing that prosperity, security & stability are interconnected development outcomes.
At #IVECF 2026, #UNIDO DG Gerd Müller highlights that a central question is how to decouple economic growth from rising emissions; stresses that although the knowledge & technologies already exist, scaled up financing and implementation are needed. #energytransition #energy #climate
Addressing #IVECF via video message, Alexander Van der Bellen, Federal President of Austria, cautions that amid the current turbulent geopolitical landscape, global attention must not drift from the climate crisis; he emphasizes the disproportionate impact of #climatechange on SIDS, LDCs & LLDCs.
The 2026 International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum #IVECF opens with a reminder that the energy transition, climate action, sustainable energy & green industrialization are mutually reinforcing and can only deliver lasting outcomes when addressed together. #energy #climate #energytransition
