A financier discusses the challenge of managing clean energy investment risk.---The transition to a clean U.S. energy system, including carbon-free electricity by the middle of the next decade, will be fueled by massive investment from government and industry and through the provision of green finance from banks and investors. Brian Lehman, the Head of Green Economy Banking at JP Morgan Chase, discusses the challenge of defining clean and sustainable investment in an age where uniform sustainability standards don’t yet exist. He also looks at how government policy might accelerate clean energy finance, and at the types of energy projects and technologies that are attracting attention from green financiers.  The Carbon Shock: Investor Response to the British Columbia Carbon Taxhttps://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/the-carbon-shock-investor-response-to-the-british-columbia-carbon-tax/ Related ContentBeyond Prices and Quantities: Greening Policies Under Sectoral Reforms in Argentina https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/beyond-prices-and-quantities-greening-policies-under-sectoral-reforms-in-argentina/Climate Tech for Real Estate: The Elephant in the Room. https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/research/publications/climate-tech-for-real-estate-the-elephant-in-the-room/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
