E3G’s Kate Levick spoke on SPARK’s panel of sustainable finance experts, discussing how new financing models can help deliver a just clean energy transition.
A low-carbon energy system will be impossible to achieve without sufficient investment. With the right incentives, investors can divest from fossil fuel investments and advance the uptake of clean technologies and new business models. Yet environmentally motivated, sustainable finance investments in clean energy remain a challenge.
