Developing the Playbook for Climate Justice Investing

Climate-related investing has grown exponentially in the last decade, but far less has flowed to ensure that low-income communities and communities of color can remediate their long-standing environmental hazards and participate in the wealth and job creation of the emerging, sustainable economy. The Justice 40 Initiative, Green House Gas Reduction Fund and broader Inflation Reduction Act offer once-in-generation public resources to leverage private capital and reset this dynamic. Hear how initiatives from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to the Sierra Club Foundation are working with impact investing and community partners to create playbooks and collaboratives needed to seize this moment for building inclusive and sustainable economies across the nation’s urban, rural and tribal communities, while also pointing the way for how investors can align the range of their assets for this important goal.
