High-level representatives from various countries, companies and backgrounds will take part in a panel debate presenting their strategies and ambitions linked to shifting to renewable energies and will discuss their sustainable development policies and adaptation strategies. Short- and long-term perspectives for wind development will also be addressed during this session, as well as the role of the civil society in accelerating wind energy development/as a widely acceptable solution in the context of climate change.
