It will also explore how companies can align retirement options with their sustainability strategies to achieve greater impact and remain both a resilient and attractive employer for future generations.<\/p>\n To achieve a clean economy that keeps global warming below 1.5\u00b0C, we need to significantly increase investments in the companies and projects that deliver a low-carbon future. Leading businesses are making commitments on renewables, EVs and innovative technology because ambitious action is needed to protect both our planet and the future of their business. These companies can also better attract and retain employees looking to work for businesses that align with their values. One way to do this is by offering ESG retirement options that support climate action while promising equal or better returns.<\/p>\n Dr. Barbara Buchner<\/a>, Executive Director at CPI, will provide a keynote address on “Facilitating Investments towards a 1.5\u00b0C Future<\/a>.”<\/p>\n The event will be livestreamed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Invite only Over the next 15 years, USD 93 trillion of low-emissions and climate-resilient infrastructure will be needed to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. According to The State of City Climate Finance 2015 report, more than 70% of this infrastructure will be built in urban areas, at a cost of US$4.5 to US$5.4 trillion per year. Current investment in low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure, however, is falling far short of these goals.<\/p>\n In response to this need, several major initiatives are actively working to mobilize public and private investments and close this financing gap in sustainable and resilient infrastructure in cities.<\/p>\n This event, convened by Climate Policy Initiative, the German government, the Global Covenant of Mayors, and the Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance<\/a>, together with the World Bank Group, Global Infrastructure Facility, and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the auspices of Invest4Climate, is designed for leaders in city-level climate finance, including cities, regulators, companies, financiers and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n For more information, please contact caroline.dreyer@cpiclimatefinance.org<\/a><\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Invite only The Lab<\/a>, of which CPI is Secretariat, is a public-private initiative that finds, develops, and launches transformative financial instruments to mobilize private climate finance at scale.
