Have you ever wondered what the next generation of financial leadership in climate action looks like? 🌍💡 Along with fellow #NYUCGA students (Jean Berthony Brutus, MBA and Angelica Nieto) I had the pleasure of diving deep into #climatefinance at the Wall Street Climate Forum for Young Professionals where esteemed financial leaders, bankers, and investors shared their insights. The discussion centered on ESG Investing 2.0: Seizing Opportunities in a Shifting U.S. Landscape, offering a fresh perspective on the evolving role of sustainable finance.

When two worlds collide! Last night I had the pleasure to attend an event hosted by The New York Climate Exchange talking #climatefinance run by the Wall Street Climate Forum for Young Professionals. My dear friend, Sonja Neve helped put together the spotlight: ESG Investing 2.0: Seizing Opportunities in a Shifting U.S. Landscape. Overjoyed to have seen my colleague Shaheen Contractor, CFA moderate and Erich Cripton share his insights. In Stephen Hammer's closing remarks, he emphasized the importance of fostering the #climatefinance community, and I couldn't agree more. Look out for all of the other great events to come from NYCE. A special thank you to Emmanuel Jaquez for capturing the photo of my two worlds!
