HANOI, Vietnam -- The challenges of climate change and energy security have propelled Asian nations to increasingly embrace investment in renewable energy.

Advanced technology, investment incentives and readied capital have also helped renewable energy become one of the highest growth sectors with increasing deployment by businesses as they pursue a “green” strategy. Another big question is: Are consumers are ready?

These issues and more on renewable energy development in Asia will be highlighted at a webinar called “Asia: Renewable Energy Continent” on Wednesday, June 15 from 2-4 p.m. Hanoi time (4-6 p.m. Korean Time).

The event will open with a keynote address by H.E. Tran Hong Ha, Vietnam’s Minister of National Resources and Environment.
