In Feb 2025 I had the privilege of attending the Finance in Common Summit (FiCS) in Cape Town.
An amazing gathering illustrating enormous global public banking capacity, and energy.
My message, and a common theme, was the need for more #public-public collaborations to deliver just transitions!

Great to talk with Jael Holzman. Heatmap is a remarkable outlet--daily newsletters on renewable energy.
I am very concerned that anti-renewables groups are not being directly confronted for misinformation. Our work on that is here:
