Description: Climate change poses escalating risks to power systems worldwide, threatening critical infrastructure and the secure, continuous supply of electricity. Both extreme weather events and long-term stressors such as rising temperatures demand proactive action to address vulnerabilities in power infrastructure. Integrating climate resilience into the planning, design, and operation of power assets is essential to ensure stable and sustainable power systems for the future – especially as electrification increases across all sectors.

IRENA’s report Enhancing Resilience: Climate-proofing Power Infrastructure underscores the urgent need to strengthen power system resilience to climate impacts and extreme weather. Drawing on global case studies, it provides guidance for policymakers, regulators, and utilities to embed climate considerations into power system planning, investment, and broader energy transition strategies.

Organizer: IRENA

Description: The rapid expansion of electric vehicles is driving unprecedented demand for critical materials. Meeting a 1.5°C-aligned pathway requires EV battery production to grow fivefold by 2030, intensifying pressure on lithium, cobalt and nickel supply chains that remain highly concentrated and vulnerable.

Sodium-ion batteries offer a strategic alternative. Based on abundant and widely distributed materials, they can reduce dependence on critical minerals, diversify supply chains, and enhance resilience. While not a universal replacement for lithium-ion technologies, sodium-ion systems are increasingly viable for specific EV segments and stationary storage applications. This session explores future battery chemistry pathways toward 2030, highlighting how accelerated deployment of sodium-ion can ease material constraints while supporting rapid electrification. It will also outline key policy actions to foster innovation, strengthen circularity, and build more resilient and sustainable battery value chains.

Organizers: ARE

Description:  Join us for an enlightening webinar hosted by ARE as we explore how energy access, powered by Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) solutions, unlocks new possibilities for productive use and inclusive socio-economic development.

In this session, experts and thought leaders from the ARE membership will examine the pivotal role of DRE in enabling productive activities across key sectors. From strengthening agriculture and food systems to supporting micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), improving livelihoods, and enhancing access to essential services, the discussion will highlight how reliable and sustainable energy access translates into real economic and social impact at the local level.

The webinar will also reflect on how productive use of energy can drive job creation, foster resilience within communities, and promote more inclusive development pathways, particularly when energy solutions are designed with local needs and engagement at their core.

Discover the intersection of energy access, productivity, and sustainable development as we navigate real-world experiences and lessons from the field. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, exchange directly with presenters during an interactive Q&A session and be part of the conversation shaping the future of productive energy use worldwide.

Description: A reliable and secure power system is a cornerstone of the energy transition and energy security. Flexibility and grids are essential for delivering secure, sustainable, and affordable energy. Though systems inherently possess flexibility – and new flexibility sources have evolved over time – there is need to keep pace with the growing demand for energy and greater inclusion of variable renewables. Compared with capacity expansion, flexibility is more complex to characterise and often intangible.
