Growing social inequalities and chronic underinvestment in public infrastructure reinforce each other in increasing the vulnerability of societies and economies to unexpected shocks. Earlier this year, European leaders reaffirmed at the Porto Social Summit that the recovery must be sustainable, inclusive and fair, while infrastructure is currently a top priority of the G20.
Bridging critical social infrastructure gaps to ensure equitable access to high-quality and affordable essential services for all remains one of the most effective ways to promote social cohesion and integration. The session will take stock of the social infrastructure gap, with a special focus on Europe, make the case for the prioritisation and scaling up of financing in support of social sustainability objectives.

The distribution networks are at the heart of the financial and strategic industrial issues which must be tackled on an European scale and will mobilise the bulk of the capital available for the networks for considerable amounts. They are the physical location of the energy transition and innovations must emerge from them to be able to meet the challenges posed by the revamp of the electricity system.
This breakfast-debate on will be the occasion to gather key actors within the energy industry, institutions, academics and public investors to reflect on the best way to approach investments in the energy distribution sector in the context of the energy transition.
