COP26: Financing A Sustainable Economy (w/ Tom Steyer)

On this installment of our series, The Road To COP26 Presented By Octopus Energy, we look at how to mobilize public and private finance for climate action with investor and former presidential candidate Tom Steyer. As COP26's Finance day unfolds, we discuss what governments need to do to increase private finance in climate solutions, how much needs to be invested, and how to center equity and justice to accelerate mitigation and improve adaptation across the globe. 

Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also discuss the Global Methane Pledge, the announcement to end deforestation by 2030, and the formation of the First Movers Coalition.
