The Webinar Series will demonstrate the importance of continuing to align the economic recovery along with addressing climate change challenges and the priorities set by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. These webinars will examine the biggest opportunities ahead and bring together the key players driving the green recovery agenda.
The New Energy Economy
As the UN Sustainable Development Goals take on increasing significance, what role can the clean energy sector play in helping countries meet different SDGs beyond affordable and clean energy? Can hybrid, clean energy approaches – in particular using solar, wind, hydrogen and storage - become the new energy economy? This webinar will discuss how countries can continue to invest in their clean energy aspirations, where new growth will come from, and investigate the growing importance of hybrid approaches.
- The direct and indirect influence of clean energy on SDGs
- Government priorities for clean energy projects
- Reviewing ongoing energy investments, with a focus on hydrogen and storage
- Clean energy technology innovations driving development and efficiency
- The outlook for solar projects in the region - what's next and which are moving forward
Solar Outlook Report
The Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA) will present the latest edition of its “Solar Outlook Report” to a large international audience looking to deep-dive into the status and perspective of solar energy in the MENA region. By attending this webinar, you will discover:
• Developments in the past year
• Expected impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic both in the short and longer terms
• Driving factors behind further unleashing the solar energy potential.

Stimulating Economies: Low carbon is ‘Business as Usual’
International companies are increasingly declaring their targets to reduce their emissions and become net zero carbon businesses. As the New Energy Economy ushers in an era of low-carbon government, how do companies play their role? This webinar will discuss how major businesses set targets, how aggressive these should be, how practices could change and what business opportunities and investment this will bring.
- Hear how different industries are planning to reduce their emissions
- What groundwork and planning is needed to become net zero
- How ambitious should targets be, and who should be involved?
- What must companies consider when tackling scope 3 emissions?
- Clean energy technology innovations driving development and efficiency

Decarbonising GCC Water Networks
As the region's water use increases, not just for its populations and industries but also in support of agriculture, as countries push to increase their food security, how do governments also get more efficiency from water? This webinar will discuss how to decarbonise water supply in the region, through use of lower energy technologies such as reverse osmosis, the future role of renewables in desalination, and how to maximise water reuse.
- Building sector resilience using renewable energy
- Maximising the use of recycled water to optimise resources
- Leveraging the latest technology to help further improve water efficiency
