Large amounts of investments in implementing carbon-neutral technologies, and in developing new technologies, are required to protect Earth's climate. This investment challenge will involve industry, the financial sector and public policy. Both European and North American policy makers are exploring avenues for accelerating climate action through public-private partnerships, taxes and subsidies, investment in research and technology development, and other policy tools. Banks, asset managers, other financial institutions, and owners of capital have made large investment commitments to supporting the transition to a net zero consistent economy.
The conference aims to examine the possible implications of these developments.
