BSA LAW was delighted to have participated in World Green Economy Summit 2024, during WETEX 2024, with Frances-Yvonne Igweh, Partner and Head of Energy and Natural Resources, representing the firm. The World Green Economy Summit 2024 (organized by World Green Economy Organization (WGEO)), gathered global leaders to discuss strategies for advancing climate action and driving the transition to a sustainable green economy, highlighting the UAE’s leadership in renewable energy. Frances-Yvonne highlighted the vital role of collaboration in driving innovation and sustainable solutions in the sector as that is incredibly important in developing and implementing actual solutions in relevant countries and jurisdictions that may have the project needs and ambitions but lack the right technical partner or solution for implementation and progress. She also met with the representatives from the Zambian Government and the Directors of leading Korean companies at the forefront of innovative solutions in the sector. To explore more about the summit’s takeaways, feel free to reach out to Frances-Yvonne. #GreenEconomy #WGES2024 #WETEX2024 #Sustainability #EnergyInnovation #SmartCities #RenewableEnergy #WaterManagement #EnergyInnovation
