The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions boast abundant clean energy resources, particularly sunlight and wind, offering significant potential for solar and wind power projects. However, the clean energy potential in MENA remains largely untapped. Only 2 percent of global investments in renewable energy over the past two decades have been allocated to the region, with noticeable disparities. This session will delve into the opportunities and challenges of the clean energy sector in the MENA region, and it will feature discussions with leading policymakers from the region and prominent businesses in the renewable energy sector.
