Description
A massive growth of wind and solar installations, as well as the accompanying grid infrastructure to integrate them will be needed by the end of the decade. This rapid expansion may have implications for biodiversity which need to be addressed through good planning, in order to minimise trade-offs and maximise co-benefits.
There is consensus between industry and NGOs that reconciling renewable energy deployment and nature conservation and restoration objectives is doable and the best way forward. However, practical implementation is challenging.
The session aims to explore possibilities to reconcile both interests towards an acceleration of renewable energy deployment in a sustainable and nature-positive way, avoiding trade-offs and highlighting win-win opportunities and concrete solutions.
