This is a 21+ event. Please carpool or take transit (4445 Hwy 224 & Park City Nursery stop) if possible.BackgroundMoney is the invisible engine shaping the world around us — from housing and energy to transportation and food systems. Every day, billions of dollars flow through the financial system, deciding what gets built, which industries grow, and which communities thrive. Climate change, at its core, is not just a science or technology challenge — it’s a finance challenge.Banks don’t simply hold deposits; they deploy them. Loans funded by our money build infrastructure, power plants, and pipelines. Yet not every project gets financed. Banks choose which projects to support, and those choices determine whether we accelerate fossil fuel dependence or invest in a sustainable future.SpeakersBethany Kanten brings a depth of experience in climate finance and inclusive economic development, with over a decade of experience designing financial products and capital strategies for underserved communities globally.
