Continuing the work begun by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon with the Climate Summit in September 2014, leaders from across the investment community and government representatives gathered together to discuss ways to expand efforts in mobilizing the financial sector behind decarbonization. Organized by the Columbia SIPA Center on Global Economic Governance (CGEG), CDP, the Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition (PDC), the Sovereign Wealth Funds Research Initiative (SWF RI), the United Nations Environmental Programme’s Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the conference brought asset owners representing about $6 trillion together to devise ways for financial markets to catalyze and facilitate the decarbonization of the global economy.
