Climate change will have significant long-term impacts on people, ecosystems, and the global economy. To avoid catastrophic impacts, the world must mobilize finance at scale to deliver rapid and substantial low-carbon transitions across sectors and regions.

80 participants from around the world met online on June 15 and 16 at The Eighth Annual Meeting of the Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative (SETI). The event included ongoing studies and the…
