About the event
Decarbonizing the global economy and increasing climate resilience worldwide will require trillions of dollars, largely from private sector investors.
In the wake of modest progress on financial commitments at COP29 and in the midst of a transition to a new U.S. presidential administration, how can such a level of investment be realized? What novel mechanisms, collaborative efforts, and policies can accelerate the mobilization of private capital, going from billions to trillions in available finance? Working together, how can financial institutions across the globe creatively leverage their strengths to protect humanity and the planet?
The second annual “From Billions to Trillions” summit at Duke University will confront these critical questions, spurring provocative dialogue among thought leaders from across the global financial sector.
