Ms. Christiana Figueres began her breakfast speech by quoting Nelson Mandela, emphasizing that climate change solutions seem impossible until they are achieved. She argued that investors should focus on the long-term trend towards a low-carbon economy rather than short-term political fluctuations. Additionally, accelerated action is needed to limit global warming to within 2 degrees Celsius, as policy certainty will not be achieved for at least 3-5 years when it will be too late. Figueres concluded by inviting investors to join a global coalition to dramatically change market signals and solve the difficult problem of climate change through multiple cooperative solutions.
