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.
