Finance

With the world moving from global warming to “global boiling,” in United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres’s dramatic description, there is more urgency than ever to unlock the capital needed for the transition to a net-zero economy. That will mean not only increasing funding commitments, but also deploying financing for climate and sustainable development in the most efficient and effective way possible.
