But until now, no comprehensive estimates existed of the scale of climate finance needed by sector to deliver net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In partnership with global law firm A&amp;O Shearman, CPI assessed the scale of the financing needed to decarbonize the global economy across a range of technologies, from energy efficient buildings to electric vehicles. This new analysis sheds light on needs, current funds available, and the roles different stakeholders can play to close the gap.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-chart is-image\"><div is=\"chart\/image\" class=\"chart-image\">\n\t\t<script type=\"json\/props\">{\n    \"colors\": []\n}<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"block-chart--title\">Table 1.
