Powering PNG's Climate Resilience

Across remote Papua New Guinea, renewable energy is transforming the ability of communities to adapt to climate change. This session will explore practical lessons from community-led initiatives that combine renewable energy with education, health and climate resilience. Through examples including mini-grids attached to KTF’s educational facilities, household solar, innovative battery replacement models and strategies to keep schools operating during the current El Niño drought, panellists will discuss how integrated, locally-led approaches are strengthening resilience, improving essential services and creating sustainable pathways for communities facing an increasingly uncertain climate.
