Investing in Sustainable Development

Climate change has become an everyday topic of conversation and, despite differences in opinion over how to respond to global warming, almost everyone recognizes the need to conserve and to reduce the dependency on burning carbon as a source of energy. Policymakers, investors and consumers who debate this issue need to add something else to the conversation: the question of what sustainable development looks like and what it will mean for governments, industry and individuals. This panel brings together those in the vanguard of creating new initiatives for investing in community development and exposing investors and developers to novel financing tools and out-of-the-box thinking on a wide variety of projects. Join us as we gather institutional investors, governments and developers to discuss how they are building this new infrastructure for sustainable community development.
