CLIFF
Climate Change and Fossil Fuels
Finding pathways to leave fossil fuels underground
CLIFF explores how large institutional investors can participate in phasing out fossil fuels. We investigate the global North-South implications of this transition. And we ask how shareholders and stakeholders can take measures to equitably participate in a transformation of our energy supply for inclusive development.

Final CLIFF Conference
Experts from multiple sectors and disciplines have explored the challenges, justice implications, and strategies required to accelerate a just transition.
