Leveraging Climate Scenario Insights for Energy Sector Finance
Economics and Financing of Nuclear Power Webinar Series
Description
In recent years, the global focus on climate and sustainable finance has intensified, with various international initiatives aiming to channel finance towards sustainable development and climate goals. This shift is accompanied by a transition from voluntary initiatives towards stricter regulations and mandatory requirements concerning climate and sustainable finance. Climate disclosure for financial institutions and corporate organizations is becoming a pivotal aspect of low carbon transitions.
Nuclear energy can be a driving force in shaping a resilient, low-carbon energy future amidst a changing climate. This webinar will offer a platform to explore how climate scenario modelling influences financial decisions and how nuclear energy investment aligns with sustainable development goals and climate commitments.
