African renewable energy dialogue 2013
31 October – 01 November, 2013 ∙ University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
20 participants from 15 African countries. Climate/ Energy practitioners in Africa often operate in a closed environment allowing only for little interaction with stakeholder groups outside their peers. The “African Renewable Energy Dialogue” aims to build bridges across country borders and strengthen ties among various climate/ energy stakeholders by connecting the different silos of thought and action.
