This episode features an all-star panel we spoke with recently about climate-positive banking and investing, and how you can make sure your money is supporting climate solutions rather than climate collapse.
We specifically covered:
- How your and/or your organization's money is currently supporting fossil fuels through the mainstream banking and investing industry.
- What you and your organization can do to change your money's impact, and affect the financial industry overall.
- Why it all matters - the difference in impact between the status quo and climate-positive financial solutions so you feel clear about why making the switch is so important.
Our panel for this event:
Andrew Behar - CEO of As You Sow
Vanessa Fajans-Turner - Executive Director of BankFWD
Ravi Mikkelsen - Cofounder & CEO of Atmos Bank
