This event is brought to you by:

Progress on phasing out fossil fuels is alarmingly slow, and global emissions continue to rise. This is despite huge strides in clean investment over the past year. As a united climate community, we must drive a rapid and just fossil-fuel phase out and illuminate every path to cut global emissions by 2025 and halve them by 2030. This session will outline the combination of infrastructure investment, divestment, regulation and high impact interventions needed to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
