From Billions to Trillions: Reducing Risks for Energy and Climate Finance

Register now for the third annual “From Billions to Trillions” summit, Duke University’s flagship gathering on mobilizing private capital for global energy and climate solutions.

Building on successful summits in 2024 and 2025 that each convened 500+ attendees and a roster of high-level leaders, the 2026 summit will explore how to reduce the risks that constrain energy and climate finance.

Key topics will include:

• Scaling energy for AI demand
• Addressing clean energy finance gaps
• Roles of trade, competition, and industrial policy in clean energy deployment
• Navigating political risks to energy and climate finance
• Risks and opportunities for investing in low- and middle-income countries.

This year’s program will feature plenary discussions and interactive breakout sessions, all designed to generate ideas about pragmatic pathways for action. Participants from diverse sectors will examine risk across the climate finance landscape and help shape a forward-looking agenda for research, policy, and practice. A reception will follow the program at 4 p.m. in the Kirby Winter Garden.
