Addressing Climate Change Requires Both Public And Private Money

The video discusses the need for trillions in public and private investments for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Private investments have consistently outpaced public spending since 2010, with funds like the Bezos Earth Fund contributing significantly. Private investments focus on returns, often in climate-friendly activities. Public finance, however, assumes risks that private funds avoid, focusing on public good and encouraging private finance towards sustainability. The future will likely see private investment as the largest funding source, with public support steering it towards broader benefits.
