Financial Market Solutions for Funding Green Transition and Climate Resilience

UCSC Center for Analytical Finance (CAFIN) Conference.

Climate change is already affecting our everyday lives and mitigation and adaptation actions need to be taken now.  Many technical advances have been made in climate solutions, but their implementation needs funding.  How can we bring more private sector funds?  We will discuss policies, evidence, and theory and conclude with a brainstorm on practical solutions. Join us! 

In-person workshop on Friday, May 3rd, 2024, UC Santa Cruz main campus University Center, Alumni Room.
