In this session, we will use an innovative, co-creative, participatory approach to map the main challenges and opportunities faced in the off-grid renewable energy sector, especially on securing energy finance. We will also discuss how these issues are linked and identify appropriate policy responses. This workshop will be co-facilitated by Dr. Maria Apergi, the Scientific Project leader of the ISIGET project, Dr. Natalia Realpe Carrillo, Klaus Töpfer Sustainability Fellow at IASS and CEO of HEDERA, and Gunnar Raasch M.P.P., Willy Brandt School of Public Policy.
