Clinton Global Initiative September 2022 Meeting - Day 1
SPOTLIGHT SESSION
A Fast and Fair Clean Energy Transition: How We Can Unlock Capital for Climate Mitigation in an Equitable and Just Way
2:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET
Location: Murray Hill West
To reach net zero global emissions by 2050 and avert the worst impacts of climate change, the world will need to deploy clean energy technologies much more rapidly. This will require a massive surge in public and private investment across mature, clean technologies and early-stage and breakthrough solutions. Support for clean energy innovation and transition is especially critical for emerging and developing economies as they try to reconcile poverty alleviation and economic growth with global decarbonization goals. Proven strategies – from investment in local research and innovation to knowledge and technology transfer – can help countries advance cleantech solutions tailored to their specific needs and take the lead in determining their own energy future.
This session will explore:
•How can the public and private sectors work together to unlock capital for innovation and create markets for new clean technologies and businesses?
•How can we fund and strengthen local energy innovation ecosystems in emerging and developing economies?
•How can we center equity and justice in deep decarbonization efforts?
Speakers:
•Ani Dasgupta, President and CEO, World Resources Institute
•Sumant Sinha, Chairman & CEO, Renew Energy Global Plc
•Patricia Espinosa, Ambassador, Former Executive Secretary to the UNFCCC, and Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mexico
•Katie Rae, CEO & Managing Partner, The Engine
•Salma Okonkwo, Founder, Blue Power Energy
•Hemant Taneja, CEO, General Catalyst
•Chris Sacca, Founder, Lowercarbon Capital
•Guillermo Lasso, President, Republic of Ecuador
•Rolando González-Bunster, Chairman & CEO, Interenergy
