This virtual event is organised in the framework of the on-going collaboration between the African Development Bank and the OECD Development Centre on the implementation of the Equitable Framework and Finance for Extractive-based Countries in Transition (EFFECT).
African countries are under increasing international pressure to scale-down and eventually stop using fossil gas as part of their energy mix. During this session, a high-level panel will discuss the role natural gas can play in developing country contexts to ensure a balance between reducing poverty, achieving a green transition and protecting the planet. Building on the OECD Development Centre's Gas Use Decision Tree Tool (GUDTT) and Scorecard, this session will explore policy tools and criteria to align gas use with the Paris Agreement on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, to develop credible exit strategies to mitigate lock-in effects and risks of stranded assets, and to unlock finance for transitional projects, beyond Official Development Assistance.
The webinar will be conducted primarily in English, with simultaneous interpretation services in French.
