About Us
We are the premier hub and policy institution for global energy thought leadership. Energy impacts every element of our lives, and our trusted fact-based research informs the decisions that affect all of us.
This roundtable is open only to currently enrolled Columbia University students.
Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA for a student-only lunch and roundtable with CGEP Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Nigel Topping, Founder of Ambition Loop and UN Climate Change High-Level Action Champion COP26. The discussion will be moderated by Gautam Jain, Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy, at Columbia SIPA.
Mr. Topping will discuss how the conversation on mobilizing international climate finance has evolved since COP26, covering the launch of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), which he confounded with Mark Carney, the commissioning of the Stern Songwe report on Financing Climate Action, and work on accelerating actual investment pipelines. Beyond multilateral development bank reform, what other practical changes are needed to reach the $2.4 trillion per year needed in emerging markets and developing economies?
