As the global community gears up for COP26, we invite you to tune in for a high-caliber conversation featuring leading officials and climate investment experts from around the world to address strategies for accelerating climate action in developing nations. Green market creation and clean infrastructure transformation have great potential to move the needle on global climate targets. A decoupling of economic growth and emissions is needed to allow developing nations to lift out of poverty while at the same time empowering a shift away from carbon-intensive industries. In the years to come, developing economies are on track to run on 70 percent of the world’s energy, experience 97 percent of global population growth, and represent 60 percent of total GDP. How can these countries harness technological innovation to reduce emissions without compromising their growth? How can development organizations facilitate investment in local communities in a way that empowers them to take ownership of their environmental challenges and outcomes? Join Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Climate Investment Funds, for a forward-looking conversation about ways to mobilize green global development where it is needed most and where it can make the greatest impact. We will virtually convene top officials and leading voices to discuss what governments, businesses, and other global actors can do to mobilize sufficient financing to drive sustainability and resilience. Hear from these speakers:
Event Details: Oct. 21, 2021 11 a.m.-12 p.m. EDT I look forward to seeing you online!
