New P-RECs available and reflections from the Africa Climate Summit
It’s been a busy few months at EPP, with steady progress across our program areas. From the Africa Climate Summit to New York Climate Week, our team has been at the forefront of conversations around renewable energy, sustainability, fragility, peace, and security.

Report Launch: Renewable Energy and Peace in the Central African Republic - An Opportunity for the United Nations to Lead by Example
Next Monday, 3 November we’ll be co-hosting the launch of our Powering Peace report Renewable Energy and Peace in the Central African Republic - An Opportunity for the United Nations to Lead by Example. The report is our latest comprehensive country assessment, looking at the role of energy in specific conflicts, opportunities for renewable energy to support peacebuilding, and the opportunities and challenges for UN Peacekeeping to embrace renewables. This event will address key issues of climate, peace and security, including: the role of the CAR’s energy sector in the broader dynamics of the country, efforts by the UN mission - MINUSCA - to transition its energy supply to renewables, and opportunities to link these UN efforts to also help support peacebuilding.
P-RECs featured at Carbon Finance and Migration Summit in Seoul
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) organized the first-ever Carbon Finance and Migration Summit in Seoul, South Korea. The event focused on innovative carbon finance solutions for fragile settings, highlighting IOM’s successful P-REC transactions, including the recent purchase from South Sudan by YG Entertainment, which funded the solar electrification of a local university. This purchase was used to offset electricity usage from two concerts by K-POP superstars BLACKPINK, and marked the first-ever P-REC purchase by a South Korean Company. EPP President Dave Mozersky presented on EPP’s evolution, the growth of the P-REC market, and opportunities for Korean companies to advance sustainability and social impact.
