My focus: mobilising global capital for climate action. See www.climatebonds.net. We need to invest some USD90 trillion in the shift to becoming low carbon and climate resilient societies. 70% will be in emerging markets. The key word is investment; these are not sunk costs, they are energy, property and infrastructure investments that can be structured to provide a decent return on capital.

Useful finance mechanisms, such as carbon markets, are not alone going to achieve the rapid change we need - we need more. There are other options."
