On March 24, 2021 at 14:00 CET, Project Syndicate is holding an event "Investing in Climate Action".
The make-or-break decade has begun. The steps taken between now and 2030 will determine whether we can avert the most devastating effects of climate change in the future. If we act in the right way, this undertaking will yield high returns: a sustainable and resilient economy that delivers prosperity, fairness, and quality of life for all. The climate challenge demands determined action and significant investment – going far beyond current levels. But the costs of not acting will be far greater. Investing in climate mitigation and resilience will support the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis and lay the foundation for a sustainable future.
Join this event as Project Syndicate outlines what instruments can already be deployed to support the global decarbonization effort. Project Syndicate's task is to determine how public and private investment mechanisms can be used to achieve a just transition to a “net-zero” emissions economy, both in the European Union and around the world. Genuine climate leadership is more urgent than ever before.
