Mr Hamayun argued that the key to rural electrification is harnessing data to unlock capital, to learn more about the customer base and consequently, to transform lives.
In his address to the IIEA, the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade mapped the richness and diversity of Ireland’s relationship with Africa and a renewed commitment to development cooperation, as Ireland prepares to deepen its engagement though the ‘Global Ireland’ initiative.
In her address at the IIEA, Mary Robinson discussed the struggle to secure global justice for those people most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and how the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals have renewed the international community’s commitment to ending poverty and increasing equality while protecting planetary resources.
Ms Westblom took a critical look at Ireland’s role in contributing to the state of play of the EU’s current policies, and reviewed Ireland’s climate performance from a European perspective
Jim Gannon argued that Meeting Ireland’s 2020 and 2030 energy targets will require a mind shift in how we do business and how we live our lives.
Mr. Dennehy discussed the application of blockchain to the global development sector. In particular, he focused on the benefits to be derived from increased security and traceability of aid, donations and remittances, substantial proportions of which are regularly lost to corruption and fraud.
