Climate Change Speaker Series: John Morton, former White House Senior Director

CLIMATE FINANCE:
HOW TO EXPEDITE THE INEVITABLE

In December 2015 in Paris, the world agreed to take aggressive steps to enact policies to limit the increase in global temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius. In order to meet this target, governments around the world must coordinate action to engineer a fundamental and rapid transformation of the world’s energy systems.
 
The good news is that this transition is occurring faster than most people realize. The more sobering news is that the pace of change is still not nearly fast enough to achieve the Paris goals. With data pointing to the rising cost of inaction, and with the recognition that there may not be enough public capital to solve the world’s climate problems, private capital will need to be mobilized at extraordinary rates in order to tackle this historic global challenge.
 
John Morton is the former White House Senior Director for Energy and Climate Change at the National Security Council. He brings more than twenty years of experience in emerging markets, investment finance, and economic and environmental policy. Mr. Morton had overall responsibility for coordinating the Obama Administration’s policies and strategies on international energy and climate change issues. Earlier in the Administration, Mr. Morton was the Chief of Staff and Chief Operating Officer of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. At OPIC, Mr. Morton managed the Agency’s day-to-day operations, including its 250 employees and $20 billion investment portfolio in over 100 countries.
