<p>Renewable energy is poised to become even more prevalent in 2024 as decarbonisation accelerates and more investment is made into the sector.<br />
Falling costs have been the biggest factor in the growth of solar and wind capacity, with renewables now the cheapest form of power. This has helped renewables garner more investment than fossil fuels.</p>

<p>It is under this context that the Al-Attiyah Foundation held its first webinar of 2024 on March 7th. The webinar convened a distinguished panel of energy experts and policy consultants to explore the latest opportunities and barriers to the energy transition. With a special focus on renewable energy, our panelists discussed the most anticipated trends for this year and the main concerns disincentivising investment.</p>

<p>The expert guest speakers were:<br />
Luma Saqqaf, Chief Executive Officer, Ajyal Sustainability Consulting<br />
Gareth Lewis, Partner and Global Lead, Development Services, ERM<br />
Rory McCarthy, Chief Operating Officer, Yellow Door Energy</p>
