Closing the Investment Gap: Meeting Climate Goals
An 18 trillion dollar investment gap exists between current capital spending and the 2030 Global Climate Goals. Renewable and low carbon energy sources must be incorporated three times faster than previous fuel transitions. To fill this gap, pricing externalities is crucial in order to close the green premium gap and make consumers aware of the actual cost of energy. The transition to a low carbon economy requires a society-wide approach, with collaboration between businesses and policymakers.
