Key Statements

“But I do think a carbon price is important. Carbon and climate change and pollution impose such huge costs and risks, and they're not priced into–maybe they are increasingly–but they're not fully priced into, certainly into the market. And we need that to be done in order to lower the carbon emissions.”

“First, and I really want to put the most emphasis on this, institutions should finance or enable climate solutions to replace high emitting activities. This means growing solar, wind and other renewables to produce carbon free energy and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in addition to investing in the technologies needed to decarbonize our economy. Time is running out and we are frightfully behind where the science tells us we need to be.”

“The science is clear. With global temperature rise exceeding one and a half degrees centigrade, we will experience irreversible catastrophic effects of climate change. To limit warming to one and a half degrees from preindustrial levels and achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, we must have global GHG emissions across the entire economy by the end of this decade and reach net zero by 2050.”
