Mobilizing Capital for the Energy Transition: Global Perspectives

<p>The Center on Global Energy Policy, in partnership with BeyondNetZero, will host a public event focusing on pathways and opportunities to mobilize capital for a fair and fast energy transition. The event will feature distinguished experts providing perspectives on the energy transition landscape from a capital markets and policy perspective across both developed and emerging markets. A cocktail reception will follow the program.</p>
<p>During the course of the conversation, the following questions will be explored:</p>
<p>-- How are investors managing to balance the long-term policy trajectory toward net zero with short-term volatility around the energy crisis and uneven legislative/regulatory action on climate among countries?<br />
-- What have been the most successful examples of scaling clean energy technology and how can those be deployed in hard-to-abate sectors?<br />
-- What are the unique challenges to scaling capital investment in clean energy to deliver breakthroughs in developing markets, particularly in developing and emerging economies and in the context of November&#39;s COP27 discussions?</p>
