Decarbonising transport depends on bridging the "green premium," yet the question of who picks up the tab remains unanswered. This panel tackles the financial architecture of the energy transition, moving from high-level goals to the pragmatic realities of global investment.
Key Discussion Points will include:
- The Funding Mix: Balancing the burden between taxpayers, passengers, and industries like tourism: who should pay for the transition?
- Market Drivers: Finding the "sweet spot" between voluntary corporate ambition and mandatory regulatory frameworks.
- Global Equity: Maintaining a level playing field and ensuring fair competition within a fragmented geopolitical and policy landscape.
