Discussants from the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan and India will raise critical questions about the plans being put in place to spur on the retirement or 'repurposing' of coal power projects, including the need for public accountability, transparency and remedy, pivot away from not only dependence on fossil fuels, but also false solutions such as waste-to-energy incineration and mega-dams.

Senior ADB Management will be on hand to respond.
