Creating New Growth Models

image
By State of Green | [email protected]
8 October 2012

One main focus of the Forum is the financing of large-scale projects with the private and public sector. By mixing private with public finance for investments in renewable energy and green infrastructure, the risk of investing in large scale projects is reduced. This is an important aspect of launching large scale projects, which require a high level of stability for up to 20-30 years.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will be showcasing their energy efficiency programme where public-private risk sharing is put in practice. It has been used in the development of a PPP financing template that can, in principle, be applied to projects in any country or region. This will be shared with public and private investors, to successfully collaborate and ignite investment in highly lucrative global energy efficiency projects.

Shared goal of Sustainable Growth 

There are 17 countries represented at this year’s 3GF. Leading the forum at Ministerial level are Denmark, Mexico, Republic of Korea, China, Kenya and Qatar. Other countries represented include the US, France, Switzerland, Indonesia, Turkey, and Morocco who will be present to actively participate in sharing their experiences, and to learn about new green growth strategies.

Alongside national governments, global corporations and institutions will be represented with CEOs and executives from Philips, Danfoss, Desso, Nestlé, Ericsson, Samsung, Novozymes to name just a few. International financial institutions and organisations will also be present including the China Development Bank, the World Bank, the European Investment bank, the World Economic Forum, and the OECD.

Global Green Growth Forum 2012

The Global Green Growth Forum, is a partnership between the Governments of Denmark, Republic of Korea, Mexico, China, Kenya, and Qatar, global corporations and international organisations working to create large-scale green projects as part of a bottom-up  economic transition to a greener economy. Danfoss and Vestas Wind Systems are official corporate partners to the Global Green Growth Forum

The Global Green Growth Forum 2012 will be held on the 8-9th October in Copenhagen, Denmark.

City district becomes living laboratory for flexible use of renewable energy

23 October 2024
Increasing energy consumption with electrification and a higher degree of renewable energy sources creates a less stable energy supply and demand than we have traditionally had. This requires new tools to create more flexible energy consumption, local solar energy production and storage, and the nee
