PEP conferences are global gatherings that unite development researchers, practitioners, leading experts, and policy stakeholders to tackle pressing issues in economic policy. These annual events offer a unique opportunity to experience the co-created research and policy analysis supported by PEP, showcasing collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and other key actors. Building on the success of our first in-person conference in 2024 after four years online, PEP is excited to host another in-person event in Nairobi, Kenya. This year’s conference will feature a Policy Conference on June 11, on the theme 'Financing and Inclusivity in Green Energy Transitioning'. 📺 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 from 9 a.m. UTC+3: https://lnkd.in/gDkkKaKw #PEPconf2025 (fb)

Professor Jane Mariara, Executive Director of the Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP), was recently featured in the international magazine Materia Rinnovabile - Renewable Matter, in a special issue exploring sustainable and just development models in the Global South. In a wide-ranging interview with Marco Moro, editor-in-chief at Edizioni Ambiente and deputy editor of Renewable Matter, Professor Mariara shared insights from the Earth4All-Kenya National Engagement Report a localized adaptation of the global Earth4All model originally spearheaded by The Club of Rome and other global institutions. The Kenya report, led by PEP in partnership with, the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA Kenya), Millennium Institute, and the Club of Rome, who also served as a partner and funder, shows that if the country implements transformative policies referred to as the “Five Turnarounds” it could eliminate extreme poverty, achieve near gender parity, expand access to education and energy, and foster inclusive economic growth by the year 2050. 🗞️ Read the full news story here: https://www.pep-net.org/news/jane-mariara-speaks-earth4all-kenya-international-sustainability-magazine (fb)
