According to a top carbon expert, the world still has the resources and capability to combat climate change, and countries should not use the financial crisis as an excuse to postpone actions to address global warming. James Cameron, vice-chairman of Climate Change Capital in London, stated that the recent mobilization of trillions of dollars highlights the strength and scale of international cooperation in addressing a global crisis. He warned that governments may prioritize short-term crises over long-term climate change issues, but emphasized the importance of learning from the quick mobilization of resources during the financial crisis to support market systems and address environmental challenges. Cameron delivered these remarks at a major carbon conference in Australia. He suggested that if governments worked together with the same level of cooperation and urgency to address climate change as they did with the financial crisis, it would be possible to tackle both issues simultaneously. Concerns exist that the financial crisis has already drained public capital reserves, making countries hesitant to commit to near-term climate change actions that could impact their economies and jobs. However, Cameron, a senior figure in clean-energy investments, argued against this short-term focus, stating that investments in addressing climate change should be seen as essential for the public good, despite the potential costs in the long term. He emphasized that there is still capital available to invest in solutions for the climate crisis, even after recent stock market declines. Climate Change Capital manages over $1.6 billion in funds and specializes in assisting companies and institutions impacted by policy and capital market reactions to climate change, according to the information provided on its website.
