3-day Bangladesh energy prosperity conference to begin Dec 11

A three-day conference titled Bangladesh Energy Prosperity 2050 will begin on December 11.

Bangladesh Working Group on Ecology and Development announced on Sunday that the conference will focus on five thematic areas – policy coherence, financial access, institutional reform, regional and global cooperation and social and environmental reform.

This is the second BEP conference where over a dozen foreign energy experts are expected to participate along with experts from Bangladesh. Around 300 people are expected to join the event.

‘The vision of the conference is to create an open space for multi-stakeholder dialogue that will obtain Bangladesh’s maximum energy prosperity,’ BWGED member secretary Hasan Mehedi said.

Bangladesh requires meticulously crafted energy plans and policies aligning with achieving 40 per cent renewable energy by 2041, he said, to safeguard national security and economic sovereignty.

The event, divided into 14 sessions, will be co-organised by 20 organisations.

The conference will be held at the BIAM Foundation.
