At today's Finance Forum, I again made clear that without collective action, we won't be able to unlock the trillions of climate finance emerging economies need to drive their energy transition to fight climate change. #WBGMeetings

Thanks to Semafor for hosting me today on the sidelines of the #wbgmeetings to talk about the critical need for a just energy transition to win the flight on climate change

Big news: the 1st Coal to Clean Credit Initiative project is under consideration in the Philippines. Closing the coal plant there will avoid 19M tons of CO2. A huge step in making carbon finance work to speed energy transitions in developing countries washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…

Delighted to welcome Mia Amor Mottley to The Rockefeller Foundation today to give an overview of her vision for prosperity & resilience in Barbados, and how to mobilize the large volumes of capital required to accelerate the green transition. I commend PM Mottley for her leadership & clarity

Politico captured the urgency of this week’s #WBGMeetings . This is our opportunity to get it right. If we don’t make the changes now, in two decades, we lose the fight on #climate . Period. politico.com/newsletters/th…

Thank you Himanshu Gupta for sharing my book! I wrote 'Big Bets' for anyone who wants to make large-scale change. I hope the David Hilliard students will use the big bet mindset to turn their bold visions into reality.

On climate, we have to change the way we think. We have to change our mindset. Our #bigbet is to build the alliance that will deliver clean energy in the developing world where 75% of future emissions will come from. Thank you Bina Venkataraman for a great conversation Washington Post Live #PostLive
