Building a low-cost green energy future now
The Catalyst Series hosts cross-sector conversations on actions to build an abundant and low-cost green energy future now.
Through virtual and in-person events, special reports and research, we focus on speeding the transition to a carbon-free future by 2030 by asking the question: What’s the fastest path to 1.5°C or less of warming?
All I want is $100 BILLION TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

Enjoy highlights from the event and see how our panelists answered the question.
We had a radical dose of climate optimism on Jan. 9 with a raucous panel of experts who discussed how they would spend $100 billion to fight climate change. Moderator Sarah Golden, GreenBiz VP, asked our panelists to physically move to represent where they stood on tough questions like whether we should prioritize curbing polluting practices or investing in new technology.
THE CATALYST SERIES
Key decisions need to be made about how to balance our energy systems: Should we invest in electrification, alternative fuels, or carbon capture and sequestration-backed fossil fuel power plants? What are policies, innovations, and investments we need to make to transition to a green energy future?
