Join RMI at Climate Week NYC (Sept. 23-28) to share a message of real progress and even greater promise: We are re-energizing the world through climate solutions.

Concerns are rising about dwindling business ambition, energy demand that cannot be met, and political backlash. Some believe that a transition to clean energy cannot happen without tradeoffs in profitability, affordability, jobs, equity, or reliability.

At RMI, we know that by transitioning to cleaner fuels, we are re-energizing the economy and local communities. We are re-energizing jobs and livelihoods. We are re-energizing the climate movement with a message that goals are within reach and progress is underway.

Catalytic Climate Capital Forum

As the world unites around the historic goal set at COP28 of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030 and prepares for the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG) at COP29, a critical question arises: how can public and philanthropic funding catalyze private investment to drive the energy transition? RMI has worked with partners to provide evidence and equity-based input to the NCQG process for the past three years. During New York Climate Week, this event brings together global leaders to explore how private capital can be mobilized within the framework of international climate finance commitments.
