Accelerating clean energy access in rural areas

CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE)

October 5, 2021

  • 8:00 – 9:00 am (America/New_York)
  • 2:00 – 3:00 pm (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 5:30 – 6:30 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

Growing interest in renewable energy poses new institutional, technical and economic challenges – and these require innovative policies and tools to widen access.

Over the past decade, the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) has worked with countries to ensure smallholder farmers have greater access to renewable energy, thereby enhancing their climate adaptation and mitigation. The webinar will draw on this experience to explore:

  • The role that CGIAR’s research on energy can play to support food systems transformation and address rapidly growing climate change impacts on vulnerable and food insecure populations
  • Where ‘One CGIAR’ should focus its energy research to transform food, land and water systems in a climate crisis
  • How funders and policymakers can ensure energy research becomes more applicable to real world problems.
