Event Details
Is this time different for renewable energy in Korea? Despite several attempts in Korea to ignite the transition toward renewable energy over the last the two decades, the share of energy generated from renewable sources in Korea remains amongst the lowest of OECD countries. However, policies designed to promote sustainability are increasingly taking center-stage in both global and domestic politics. President Moon Jae-in has invested significant political capital in renewing South Korea's international commitments to carbon emission reduction and renewable energy production.
Could the 2020s be a new dawn of renewable energy in South Korea? What factors have prevented faster adoption of renewables and what is a sensible policy direction for the country? South Korea does boast industries that would benefit as the world accelerates investment into renewable energy. Can South Korea leap-frog neighbouring countries to take a leadership role in Asia? Join us as we discuss the challenges and opportunities in renewable energy with industry experts and senior business leaders.
Please note that we currently plan to hold the panel discussion as a hybrid event. The in-person part of the session will be held at Four Seasons Seoul and you also have a choice to join online as well. Due to the uncertain healthcare circumstances in Seoul, we will be attentive to the guideline provided by public authorities and we will keep you posted if there are any changes in the format of the event. We hope for your understanding.
