Panel - How to develop offshore renewables for energy and growth?

How can we advance offshore renewables, providing clean energy and building a sustainable industry?

Offshore plays a central role in renewable energy generation, with potential for further expansion of existing and new technologies. Developing offshore renewables to their full potential, for the climate and the economy, can only happen alongside transformation of supply chains and of the energy system.

The panel sessions consist of a moderated panel discussion with researchers, business, and government, followed by time for questions and answers.
