Addressing the climate crisis required a rapid phasing out of fossil fuels and expansion in renewable energy capacity. At COP28, over 120 countries signed the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge to triple renewable energy generation by 2030. This session aimed to explore the peace and conflict potential of the green transition, focusing on ensuring a peaceful energy shift. Speakers shared initiatives to boost renewable energy investment in conflict-prone and energy-poor regions, highlighting how the humanitarian sector could contribute to the transition and provide essential energy solutions.
