India has charted ambitious goals for its energy transition. These include achieving 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030. Additionally, it has committed to reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% (compared to 2005 levels), also by 2030. From a longer-term perspective, India has stated its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

Financing clean energy is critical in ensuring social, environmental, and economic security. The complexity of the challenge and diverse stakeholder perspectives requires alignment among all stakeholder groups. This roundtable presents an opportunity to stock-take and deliberate on the progress made and identify areas that can be accelerated in the year of India’s G20 Presidency.

The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) with the World Economic Forum (WEF) are pleased to invite you to the Mobilising Investments for Clean Energy in Emerging Economies (MICEE) India Country Roundtable. The next few months will put India into the spotlight, as it assumes the G20 Presidency, where the role of new and renewable energy in promoting energy security and the need to accelerate investments into this sector is expected to be a key priority.

The roundtable aims to support this G20 focus priority area by showcasing specific solutions identified through several months of stakeholder consultation. The event will feature:
(a) Two-panel discussions - one high level on financing India’s clean energy transition and the other focused explicitly on the solution and implementation pathways to unlock capital
(b) The official release of a joint WEF and CEEW Report detailing solutions on two areas of intervention identified by stakeholders.
