A month ahead of COP21 Christiana Figueres gave an incredibly powerful keynote addressing the international financial community.

“We have a major energy transition already in place. [….] The direction is unstoppable.”
“But the slowest we move the most expensive it is going to be.”
“Quality of investment today = Quality of the global energy system tomorrow” = “Quality of life forever”
“We are not in a world of Business as Usual anymore, we are in a world of Business as Urgent”
