Working on climate change involves reading a lot of reports. A lot. My general view nowadays is “Enough already! Can you we just do now and stop theorizing?”
But sometimes you come across a report and you find yourself sitting up in your seat and shouting “Yes Yes Yes” like that scene with Meg Ryan in the movie When Harry met Sally.
A huge part of addressing climate change is green infra investment. But what to do? McKinsey’s rpt on ‘How to mobilize private-sector financing for sustainable infra’ makes you shout YES YES YES. Beautiful.
