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.

During the initial virtual session, we'll explore who Jews are, what antisemitism is, and how it operates. During the subsequent in-person session, we'll unpack how anti-Jewish harm shows up in the current political climate, including inside discourse around Israel & Palestine.

Participants leave with a greater understanding of the Jewish community’s identities, lived experiences, and traumas, better prepared to be allies to the Jewish community, and how antisemitism ultimately undermines democratic, pluralistic societies and institutions
