Join RMI, UNDP and the Africa Minigrids Program (AMP) for a webinar that will cover key concepts related to climate vulnerability, risk assessment, and effective resilience-building strategies. Speakers from each organization will share insights on identifying and integrating climate-related risks in minigrid designs, followed by a panel discussion on developing adaptive strategies for community resilience.   The webinar is for policy makers, developers, program implementers, and advocates interested in the critical topics of climate risk and resilience. It aims to equip participants with practical knowledge to enhance their capacity to respond to climate challenges and foster collaboration and learning.  

Join RMI for an in-depth discussion on: The economic benefits of EV manufacturing—from supply chains to small businesses, real-world examples of how communities are already benefiting from new EV investments, workforce opportunities, including training programs and career pathways in clean manufacturing, and resources available to support community and workforce development. Whether you're a policymaker, city planner, economic developer, business leader, or community advocate, this session will equip you with the insights and tools to understand and act on the opportunities emerging in the EV sector. 

Finance is the backbone of India’s electric mobility revolution. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates across delivery, ride-hailing, and personal use, the availability of affordable and accessible capital is becoming increasingly central to sustaining this momentum. Mainstream banks, non-banking financial companies, and development finance institutions (DFIs) are already scaling up, introducing tailored products, green loans, and innovative models such as leasing and fleet-as-a-service. However, challenges persist, including credit risk concerns, data gaps, and unclear resale pathways, highlighting the need for improved financial tools and frameworks.

This Shoonya webinar brings together leading financiers, DFIs, and EV financing solution providers to spotlight what’s working, where gaps remain, and what it will take to unlock capital at scale. The conversation will delve into the critical role of affordable financing in accelerating the EV transition and the collective action required across institutions to make India’s electric mobility goals a reality.

What to expect:

1. Insights into the evolving financing landscape for EVs across vehicles and infrastructure.
2. Discussion on current barriers and risks for traditional and emerging financiers.
3. Best practices and financing models that have enabled scale or innovation.
4. Perspectives on how policy and innovative instruments can de-risk the sector and enable access to affordable financing.
