Such a great dialogue yesterday during the @cleanaircatf's 'CEE Talks: Central and Eastern Europe in the World' webinar!

I joined a panel brilliantly moderated by @_Lee_Beck , alongside fellow speakers @OlgaKhakova, H.E. @varvuolis , and @KurtykaMichal . Thank you for the invitation, Larissa Lee Beck and @TamLagurashvili , and congratulations to the whole CATF team!

I discussed energy geopolitics, how the upcoming #US policies could impact the #CEE region's #energysecurity, and the options forward for the #EU and the region to advance their #energytransition agenda.

When supported by robust policies and financial resources, nuclear energy can accelerate the energy transition.

At #COP29, @EFIFoundation joined a panel with @iaeaorg, @cleanaircatf, and @NTI_WMD for a discussion on innovative financing and risk-sharing strategies for #SMRs.⚛️

[Clean Air Task Force @cleanaircatf]

CATF's @_Lee_Beck moderated an engaging discussion with @ASdoukou @GreeceMFA & @CFragoyiannis @YpenGr. They explored raising ambition while recognizing reality, focusing on regional flexibility & the intersection of energy security, economic strength, & emissions reductions.

[Clean Air Task Force @cleanaircatf]

Small modular reactors (SMRs) can contribute as a large-scale solution to the energy transition.

At #COP29, CATF’s @_Lee_Beck joined @iaeaorg, @EFIFoundation, & @NTI_WMD for a discussion on how financing can accelerate nuclear energy ambition.

Today, the @EP_Industry held the confirmation hearing of @DanJoergensen, Commissioner-designate for Energy and Housing. It was an opportunity to gain better clarity on his plans to ensure more clean energy available, cheaper energy costs, and an end to Russian energy imports.

[Andrei Covatariu @AndreiCovatariu]

Really excited to join @cleanaircatf 's panel conversation - alongside @_Lee_Beck , @OlgaKhakova , @KurtykaMichal , and @varvuolis - to discuss the #CEE's energy challenges and opportunities. Thank you for having me, @TamLagurashvili !

"The cost of capital has implications for where we are going to fund investments."

CATF's @lodarno spoke with @FT about a new CATF report that reveals the lack of affordable financing for clean energy projects in African countries. https://t.co/92fh02ySwT

[Lee Beck @_Lee_Beck]

As @WBG_Climate gather in DC for the Annual Meetings of IDBs, my colleagues in our Africa team release a FOAK analysis showing the weighted average cost of capital was 18 per cent across the African continent, falling to 13 per cent by 2070. @lodarno
