Learn how we are working to transform how we use and produce energy.
RMI will be at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, to engage global policy and business leaders with the tools needed to lock in affordable, reliable, and secure energy. Electricity demand is rising around the world, and renewables are increasingly the cheapest source of new power to meet that demand. The business case for electrification is clear, but we still face a major deployment challenge of financing and implementing global projects. COP31, dubbed the “Implementation COP,” is the right time and space to advance practical solutions that can move the needle on electrification and the economic growth it enables.
