About the event
The technologies needed to address and respond to climate change—from clean energy generation to adaptive infrastructure—don't come cheap. These projects rely on funding from large financial institutions that must weigh the risks and returns of their investments. The cost of climate-relevant projects has created opportunities for less conventional financiers, like venture capitalists and philanthropists, to fund and advance the infrastructure projects that communities need to build a more resilient, sustainable future.
Our speakers will lay out the current state of financing responses to climate change, discuss adaptation risks, and explore novel mechanisms to leverage financial systems to meet our climate goals.
