At COP29 in Baku, world leaders came together around a bold new climate finance goal: How can we support countries in making the critical transition to clean energy while building the resilience and infrastructure needed to withstand the escalating impacts of climate change? They committed to reaching at least $300 billion annually by 2035 - though this is far from enough.

Join Ani as he presents four stories that break down the key challenges - and potential solutions - to this global effort: What is the money for? Where will the money come from? And what can be done to unlock more money through innovation and efficiency?

The event will also feature WRI leaders from around the world, sharing real-world examples and strategies to speed up action:

  • Courtnae Bailey (Associate, Adaptation Finance): Adapting to climate change (St. Vincent and the Grenadines).
  • Katie Ross (Senior Director, Climate Action): South Africa's transition (Komati, South Africa).
  • Melanie Robinson (Global Climate, Economics and Finance Director): Mobilizing $1.3 trillion for developing countries (Nairobi, Kenya).
  • Pawan Mulukutla (Executive Program Director, WRI India): Attracting private capital with public policy (Bengaluru, India).
  • Mirela Sandrini (Interim Country Director, WRI Brasil): Finding innovative ways to finance nature (São Paulo, Brazil).
