Call for Papers: Achieving Global Energy Transformation

Published on June 15, 2019

The Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) are calling for papers for the Seventh Green Growth Knowledge Platform Annual Conference.

Deadline for submission: 17 July 2019

The managing partners of the Green Growth Knowledge Platform—the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the World Bank announced the Call for Papers for the Seventh GGKP Annual Conference.

Papers can focus on the policy, finance, technology and innovation, and social dimensions of green energy transformation, as well as the role of cities and industries.

The Seventh GGKP Annual Conference

Location: GGGI, Seoul, Republic of South Korea

Date: 22 October 2019

GGGI will host the Annual Conference on 22 October 2019 in Seoul, Republic of Korea, on the theme of “Achieving Global Green Energy Transformation”. It will be held back-to-back and in conjunction with the 2019 International Renewable Energy Conference hosted by the Government of Korea (KIREC) from 23-25 October in Seoul. IREC conferences are a high-level political conference series dedicated exclusively to the renewable energy sector and are hosted by alternate governments every two years and convened by REN21.

Papers

Each paper may address a single topic or multiple topics simultaneously. Overall, papers are expected to describe important challenges, insights, and innovations and solutions for dramatically scaling up sustainable energy.

Given the critical development challenges in many low- and middle-income countries around the world, papers will be given priority in the selection process that focus on scaling up sustainable energy in developing countries and emerging economies, particularly in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Papers may focus on relevant issues at a global scale, at a regional level (e.g., Asia, Africa, etc.), at a subregional level, or in individual countries.

For purposes of this call for papers, “sustainable energy” encompasses a wide range of technologies and applications, including but not limited to: on-grid and off-grid solar; wind; small-scale hydro; biomass; biofuels; mini-grids; hydrogen; power to gas; power to liquids; renewable heat (e.g., geothermal, rooftop solar, heat pumps, industrial applications); energy storage; electric vehicles/e-mobility (in land, maritime, and air transport); demand-side management; dispatch management; decentralized regulation; distributed energy resources (DERs); energy efficient lighting; efficient appliance and HVAC systems; green buildings; combined heat and power; etc.
