In the coming decade, investment in renewable energy projects in developing
countries needs to triple to reach our sustainable development and climate

succeed yet in harnessing the potential of state of the art technologies.
Business cases need to be unlocked, enabling infrastructure and policies need
to be build, capacities strengthened, and investors need to find ways to

play. The speakers of this session are:
