Against the backdrop of reducing global emissions and transitioning to the new energy system, a siloed approach to problem solving is not an option. Businesses, sectors and governments must develop collaborative and transparent partnerships to bring together complementary expertise and the needed finance in pursuit of mutually beneficial, tangible energy transition results. How can such partnerships accelerate progress and innovation by unlocking new resources and revenue streams, enabling organisations to access new markets and enhance their businesses? What is required to forge integrated collaboration across sectors and governments, to unlock solutions faster at scalable, replicable, sustainable and effective levels to meet decabonisation targets?
