Capacity-Building Alliance of Sustainable Investment (CASI) announced in Beijing

CISION PR Newswire

Oct 18, 2023

BEIJING, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — China’s leading green finance think tank, the Beijing-based Institute of Finance and Sustainability (IFS), unveiled a global initiative on sustainable finance capacity building for emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs), at a conference during the Belt & Road Forum held in Beijing this week. The Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment (CASI) aims to provide quality learning programs to support countries to develop sustainable finance in the ASEAN, Central Asian, African, the Middle East, and Latin American regions.

Dr. Ma Jun, President of the IFS and former Co-Chair of the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG), highlighted the importance of capacity building to unlocking sustainable capital in the Global South. "The lack of technical capacity is a key impediment to mobilization of private sector financing for climate actions and sustainability in EMDEs. In 2023, the G20 SFWG made capacity building one of its top priorities and called upon international communities to step up efforts on capacity building and technical assistance for the developing world", Ma said.

In response to the proposal by the G20, CASI plans to use more effective and innovative methods to deliver and distribute aggregated knowledge and best practices from member institutions via multiple channels. As of now, major players in the sustainable finance market, including the IFS, Silk Road Fund, HKMA IFFO, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Neuberger Berman, have confirmed their participation in CASI as founding members. 28 other member institutions, including platforms under international organizations, universities, associations, NGOs, think tanks, and professional service providers have joined CASI as knowledge providers and distribution channels. "We expect more organizations to confirm their CASI membership in the coming months," said Ma.

CASI will offer in-person training and online learning programs to a broad audience including regulators, financial institutions, corporates and services providers from EMEDs, addressing key bottlenecks faced in these markets, such as green taxonomy, sustainability disclosure, financial products, policy incentives, carbon markets, and origination of green projects.

Ma explained further that "CASI is version 2.0 of the IFS-hosted Global Green Finance Leadership Program (GFLP) which, over the past five years, has already organized and supported more than 30 global capacity-building events, covering over 4,500 participants from 70 countries."

A formal launch event for CASI will be held in Dubai during the annual UN climate talks (COP28) in early December. CASI is set to be operational in early 2024.

MENA’s trade prospects get a boost from Asia and Africa

Growth in MENA will dip in 2023, followed by a gentle recovery

DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach – 18 October 2023 – Atradius, a global trade insurance leader, has today released its 2023 Regional Economic Outlook report, which presents growth forecasts for key markets in the Middle East and North Africa, including differentiated outlooks for oil-exporting and energy-importing countries, and detailed expectations around trade activity and the impact of the global energy transition.

“Oil price fluctuations meant the MENA region could not maintain the 5%+ growth rate in GDP seen in 2021 and 2022,” said Rupa Jagannathan, Managing Director, Middle East, Atradius. “However, while growth will be weak this year, a rebound is likely in 2024, fueled by investments and economic diversification, as well as stronger trade partnerships with Asian markets and other African economies.”

Here are the main takeaways from Niels de Hoog, Senior Economist, Atradius. The full report is available to download here.

Overall MENA macro-economic outlook

Following a strong performance in 2022, the MENA region will see growth weaken in 2023 in line with the overall global economic slowdown, as falling oil prices had an adverse effect on oil-exporting countries in the region.
Several supportive factors, including a likely stabilization in oil prices, should drive a rebound from 2024 – although oil price swings and climate change present significant risks.
Oil exporting countries – Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar – will experience a drop from 7.6% GDP growth in 2022 to just 1.4% this year, but growth will pick up thanks to the development of diversified, non-oil sectors, and a recovery in oil prices.
Oil importing countries – Morocco, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Egypt – will grow more slowly than the oil exporters, as they struggle with high inflation and interest rates, low government spending and the influence of overall global economic weakness.

Liquidity will make a difference

Assuming oil prices remain elevated, growth among Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in areas other than oil will experience only a mild slowdown, with governments using petrodollars to support household consumption and investment projects.
Saudi Arabia and UAE, in particular, have recorded impressive growth in real gross fixed investment, with a focus on balancing the funding of fossil fuels with meeting sustainability targets and diversifying their economies.
Meanwhile, energy importing countries face a more subdued outlook as inflationary pressures remain, worsened by currency depreciation and monetary policy missteps. Any rise in the oil price could scupper the recovery process.

Robust trade with Asia to benefit

All MENA countries, especially those in the GCC, will benefit from trade and strong relations with key Asian markets, particularly China and India.
Apart from the energy trade, GCC countries are performing well on non-fuel exports, mainly chemicals, manufactured goods and machinery, along with services, in line with strategic decisions to diversify away from hydrocarbon trade.
Oil-importing countries’ main export partner is a slower-growing Europe, meaning it will benefit to a relatively lesser extent from trade.

Energy transition will influence trade strategies

With an increased focus on sustainability, a number of MENA markets are turning to African countries for importing critical metals, which serve as inputs for renewable energy technologies. China remains a major supplier of solar panels and other technologies supporting the region’s energy transition.
The global energy transition will lead to a rise in demand for natural gas as a transition fuel from places such as China and Europe, while oil exports will see a gradual decline. To capitalise on the opportunity, gas producers like Qatar are investing in expanding capacity.

LONGi reduces the number of people lacking electricity and facilitates energy equity to keep the world with disparities in harmony empowered by light

CISION PR Newswire

LONGi donated its Hi-MO 6 modules to Beirut hospital

GENEVA, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Lebanon faces an acute shortage of electricity, and consequently private generators have become a ubiquitous presence on the streets of the country since the 1990s. AL Zaharaa Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in Lebanon, is a comprehensive hospital integrating medical treatment, medical education and medical research. Normally, the medical equipment as well as heating and air conditioning systems of AL Zaharaa Hospital consume substantial amounts of electricity, but the lack of power resources often affects the normal operation of the hospital.

In March this year, the hospital in "electricity shortage" received a special gift. To alleviate the power pressure faced by AL Zaharaa Hospital and safeguard the health and safety of residents, LONGi donated about 20 kW high-efficiency PV modules to the hospital. This PV power generation system has provided a reliable support for the smooth and efficient operation of the hospital. The successful completion of this project stands as a showcase and brings about opportunities. The clean, low-carbon, and sustainable energy supply sets a benchmark for addressing local electricity challenges. The significance of clean power solutions for sustainable development and improving daily life will attract more and more attention.

LONGi donated its Hi-MO 6 modules to Beirut hospital

In fact, such donation is not the only one made by LONGi, a leading global PV enterprise.

"LONGi continues to pay close attention to the population development in areas without electricity or lack of electricity around the world, hoping to improve the living standards of residents in areas lacking electricity resources, promote local infrastructure construction and boost regional economic prosperity through concrete actions." Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi, recently shared his thoughts at the WTO Public Forum 2023. During the event, experts from various industries had a passionate discussion on the topic of "how trade and the WTO can help create a greener and more sustainable future". LONGi’s call for "promoting global ‘energy equity’ empowered by PV new energy" resonated with people from all walks of life.

It is reported that about 11% of the world’s population has no access to electricity, and about 1/3 of the population has no access to clean energy for cooking. Energy poverty directly hinders the local economic development and the improvement of people’s quality of life. In June this year, a report jointly released by the International Energy Agency, the International Renewable Energy Agency, the United Nations Statistics Division, the World Bank and the World Health Organization estimated that 1.9 billion people will be without clean cooking facilities, and 660 million without electricity access in 2030 if we do not take further actions and continue current efforts.

These disparities will adversely affect the health of vulnerable populations in underdeveloped areas and accelerate climate change.

Dennis believes that a clean energy supply with PV as the main force will become the best choice for promoting global coordinated development. Energy equity lies in the provision of clean, affordable and non-discriminatory energy services for all. Solar energy is more widely and abundantly distributed in the world than traditional fossil fuels, and it is more conducive to underdeveloped countries. With the continuous development of PV technology, the LCOE of PV power drops rapidly. The large-scale development of renewable energy, particularly PV power, can improve energy autonomy on the one hand, enhance global synergy on the other hand, and thus reduce many impacts brought about by the energy crisis.

As a world-leading solar technology company, LONGi makes consistent and ceaseless efforts to provide green and sustainable PV new energy solutions to populations without access to electricity. In last September, LONGi donated 301 kW high-efficiency PV modules to areas without electricity in Africa. Facilitated by the active efforts of the Sopowerful Foundation, these PV products have been sent to 12 destinations in Africa, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools and villages, enabling farmland irrigation and electricity stimulation, and delivering light energy to various sectors and industries. Most of these application scenarios adopt an off-grid mode, which can effectively improve the medical treatment, education and living standards of residents.

From Burkina Faso in Africa to Pakistan in South Asia to Lebanon in the Middle East. LONGi has been committed to gathering all forces to reduce the number of people without access to electricity with PV technology and bring love and light to more poor and power-shortage areas.

Light brings progress and civilization to mankind. Riding the wave of the fourth energy revolution, LONGi is committed to driving the realization of global energy equity through the deployment of efficient and reliable PV technology. Sunshine all over the world will bring happiness and warmth to more people without access to electricity. A more equitable clean energy system, Solar for All, has emerged, offering mankind infinite possibilities for sustainable development in a green, low-carbon, and abundant energy environment.

About LONGi

Founded in 2000, LONGi is committed to being the world’s leading solar technology company, focusing on customer-driven value creation for full scenario energy transformation.

Under its mission of ‘making the best of solar energy to build a green world’, LONGi has dedicated itself to technology innovation and established five business sectors, covering mono silicon wafers cells and modules, commercial & industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions and hydrogen equipment. The company has honed its capabilities to provide green energy and has more recently, also embraced green hydrogen products and solutions to support global zero carbon development.

LONGi donated its Hi-MO series modules to the Gloria María Calcaño Polytechnic

GENEVA, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Gloria María Calcaño, located in the northeastern town of Sanchez, the Dominican Republic, is a local polytechnic school with 326 students and 21 teachers. The remote location and the extremely unstable power supply once put the school in a difficult situation. The whole campus has 8 classrooms, 6 laboratories, 1 office, 1 canteen and 1 multi-function classroom. Frequent power failures affect more than 51% of the students’ study time, and a large number of teaching activities and experiments are often interrupted due to the insufficient electricity or unstable power supply.

"In order to address the problem of insufficient electricity in the school, promote the technological advancement of education equipment and optimize the quality of teaching, we donated 5.5 kW PV modules to this school in the Dominican Republic. After the PV system is installed, the school’s laboratories will be able to generate their own electricity. In addition, the PV system can continuously supply power to the energy storage system when the conventional power supply is insufficient. Such donations have greatly improved the campus infrastructure, leading to a comprehensive improvement and optimization of the teaching quality of schools."

LONGi donated its Hi-MO series modules to the Gloria María Calcaño Polytechnic

This is the address made by Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi at the WTO Public Forum 2023 in Geneva, Switzerland. During the event, experts from various industries had a passionate discussion on the topic of "how trade and the WTO can help create a greener and more sustainable future". As a participant representing the clean energy industry, LONGi’s value proposition of "energy equity" attracted wide attention from all sectors.

He said that the existing imbalance in global economic development has led to significant disparities in per capita energy consumption across countries, with approximately 80% of the world’s energy consumed by the top 20% of economies. Energy poverty directly hinders local economic development and the improvement of people’s quality of life, including education.

It is reported that some schools in underdeveloped or remote areas are often unable to carry out normal education and teaching activities due to power shortage, which also inhibits progress towards achieving global educational equity to a certain extent. Furthermore, in the context of global carbon reduction and energy transition, vigorously promoting the widespread use of clean energy and improving education for the next generation is not only an emotional action guided by morality, but also an imperative action prompted by a sense of urgency.

Dennis She believes that to address the challenges arising from global disparities in energy consumption and the unfair distribution of energy sources, supply of clean energy, with PV as the main force, will become the best choice for promoting global coordinated development. Energy equity lies in the provision of clean, affordable and non-discriminatory energy services for all. Solar energy is more widely and abundantly distributed in the world than traditional fossil fuels, and it is more conducive to underdeveloped countries. With the continuous development of PV technology, the LCOE of PV power drops rapidly. The large-scale development of renewable energy, particularly PV power, can improve energy autonomy on the one hand, enhance global synergy on the other hand, and thus reduce many impacts brought about by the energy crisis.

As a world-leading green energy technology company, LONGi has always been committed to harnessing the collective efforts of multiple parties to reduce poverty with PV technology, to promote high-quality education in more energy-starved areas, and to light up the sky of every child with sunshine.

In addition to the Dominican Republic, in recent years, LONGi has also donated PV modules to schools in economically underdeveloped areas such as Mardan, Pakistan and Malawi, Africa, where power resources are scarce. These goodwill actions have greatly improved the infrastructure conditions of the campuses, and at the same time, planted a seed of sunshine in children’s hearts.

At this moment, LONGi’s green and public welfare actions continue to take place all over the world, and the seeds of "sunshine" will take root in the hearts of more children in power-shortage areas around the world. It is believed that in the near future, not only power-starved campuses, but also other residential areas, hospitals, farms, and trade organizations around the world that are suffering from energy shortages will become greener and more prosperous due to large-scale application of PV.
