WASHINGTON (January 15, 2025) - Join WRI's President and CEO, Ani Dasgupta, on Thursday, January 30, 2025, from 9:00 - 10:30 AM EST / 3:00 - 4:30 PM CET for WRI's flagship event, Stories to Watch - shedding light on the future of global climate finance.
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:
