To catalyze systems change and address the climate crisis through both adaptation and mitigation strategies, you need talent. However, understandably, when we have thought about climate talent in the past, we have been focused on either policy/technical experts or on developing the next generation of climate leadership, rather than the leaders poised to address the crisis today. During this session, we’ll explore why it’s critical to invest NOW in today’s mid-career professionals to encourage them to become long-term stakeholders within the climate and capital ecosystems.
