Over 200 high-level speakers from government, industry, finance, research and society are expected to participate in over 30 sessions covering key issues such as clean energy security and flexibility, climate, water, sustainability as well as policy and finance.
As the leading global event for decision-makers within and outside the hydropower industry, the World Hydropower Congress is more than just a platform for discussion.
Its deliverables in 2023 include reaching consensus on policy and finance recommendations for advancing the clean energy transition to deliver COP28, breaking down barriers to the development of renewables by advancing policy and investment-driven solutions, demonstrating how complementary renewable technologies can be harnessed to fast-track the shift away from coal and highlighting the immense untapped hydropower potential that exists in many regions of the world, particularly Asia and Africa.
