The IEA's Net Zero by 2050 report has reinforced the message that coal is losing its footing in markets around the world as renewable energy becomes increasingly cost-competitive. Coal investments are becoming financially and environmentally unviable and ceasing to make sense as an option for investors and governments.
Carbon Tracker’s next update in our Powering Down Coal series lays out the financial case against coal. This webinar will discuss the findings of the report including coal phase out and project finance. We’ll explore perspectives from those still financing coal projects to those switching off capital and experiences from countries betting on coal’s future.
Speakers include:
• Catharina Hillenbrand Von Der Neyen, Co-head of Research, Carbon Tracker
• Lindsay Keenan, European Coordinator, Insure Our Future network
• Joojin Kim, Managing Director, Solutions for Our Climate (Korea)
• Moderator | Richard Folland, Policy and Government Affairs Adviser, Carbon Tracker
