The current and future role of energy investment, finance, and risk

Transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy will require trillions of investments in renewable energies and new technologies, making financing a key to the energy transition. How does this compare to the current role of energy, where fossil resources are still an important and essential part? And how sustainable will the future of finance be?
