Register now for the second annual “From Billions to Trillions” summit—seating is limited!
Decarbonizing the global economy and increasing climate resilience worldwide will require trillions of dollars, largely from private sector investors. What novel mechanisms, collaborative efforts, and policies can accelerate the mobilization of private capital? International and domestic thought leaders will exchange ideas at the second annual “From Billions to Trillions” summit.
The event will build on the successful 2024 summit, which convened over 500 attendees and explored how the Inflation Reduction Act could catalyze private climate investment in the United States. Subsequent developments have called into question the durability of that model, and raised questions about the types of investments needed to address climate change and where they will come from.
The 2025 summit will update the domestic decarbonization dialogue to reflect these new realities, while also expanding it to include global climate finance challenges and opportunities.
View confirmed speakers and the agenda.
Like the 2024 summit, this year’s event will be free and will feature ample opportunities for audience participation and networking. Leaders and practitioners in the climate finance and development spaces are encouraged to attend. A limited number of tickets are available to Duke University students.
This event is designed to make the most of Duke University’s academic assets and convening power to accelerate climate solutions, in alignment with the Duke Climate Commitment.
