Dr. Nina Skorupska, Member of the Supervisory Board at Royal BAM Group, tells Reuters Plus about the challenges and opportunities in achieving a successful energy transition, with a focus on renewable energy growth and the future of global energy systems ahead of COP29.

“COP29 is pivotal in convincing the world that our leaders, along with the investor and finance community, are serious about their commitments. As we approach COP29 in Baku, with a focus on financial confidence, how do we ensure accountability for the promises made? It’s crucial we have mechanisms in place to monitor and uphold these commitments,” says Dr. Skorupska.
