- Mar 2712:00 PMInvesting for Climate? How Financial Institutions Incorporate Climate Change Into Their Decision-MakingBuilding: Curtis Hall City: Medford, MA 02155 Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: Curtis Hall Multipurpose Room (474 Boston Avenue, Medford, MA) Wheelchair Accessible: Yes Open to Public: Yes Primary Audience: Alumni and Friends,Faculty,Staff,Students (Graduate),Students (Postdoctoral),Students (Undergraduate) Event Type: Lecture/Presentation/Seminar Event Subject: Business,Education,Sustainability/Climate Event Sponsor: School of Arts and Sciences Event Sponsor Details: Environmental Studies Program RSVP Information: RSVP only needed for virtual attendants Event Contact Name: Sinet Kroch Event Contact Email: sinet.kroch@tufts.edu Link: https://tufts.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Yq7n5g-ZSMOwtZxh1u2_3A "ESG," "net-zero," "Paris-aligned," "impact investing," "intensity-based targets," and "financial materiality" are just a few of many terms that are often mentioned in investment strategies that take into account environmental impacts and potential risks from the effects of climate change. Parsing through the nuance of these words is key to unlocking the private sector's full potential in financing climate change solutions. A good grasp of these terms is also necessary to navigate the multitude of sustainability claims companies make on the extent of their sustainability practices. After building some intuition on how the financial sector's interests are driven in terms of climate investing, attendees will be able to apply this to their own areas of interest in terms of how public and private sectors can best complement each other's climate-related efforts.
