Unlocking Pacific Renewable Energy Investment: The TIDES Partnership in Action

Wednesday 7 October 2026 4:30 PM – 5:15 PM Ballroom 2

About this session

Pacific countries have ambitious renewable energy goals, but investment remains constrained by market barriers and limited access to capital. Join the UK Minister for Climate/Special Representative for Climate, New Zealand Minister for Climate Change/senior official, Pacific partners and private-sector investors to explore how the TIDES platform is unlocking renewable energy investment across the region. Speakers will discuss how blended finance can attract private capital, support sustainable energy projects and strengthen resilience. The session will also feature a short signing and announcement ceremony marking new TIDES investor commitments and support for Pacific projects.
