Powering People: Financing a Just Energy Transition for Communities

If your energy transition leaves people behind, it’s not a transition—it’s an extraction. Are we bold enough to power dignity and decarbonisation together?
The energy transition isn’t only a carbon story—it’s a human one. In Asia and across emerging economies, millions still live without reliable, affordable, or clean energy. Meanwhile, communities whose livelihoods depend on fossil fuel industries face disruption, displacement, and uncertainty.
This panel explores how sustainable and inclusive finance can power a truly just energy transition—one that decarbonises while also democratises access, dignity, and opportunity. From blended finance and concessional capital to worker retraining, equity ownership models, and distributed energy systems, we’ll hear from leaders funding solutions that deliver climate gains and human development.
This is about energy as justice. Can we rewire not just our grids, but the way capital flows through communities and across generations?
