2020 Environmental Gathering Idea Talk: Financing Clean Energy Innovation

The urgency of climate change demands that we maximize every opportunity we have to reduce our emissions. There is great potential to make an impact by accelerating the use of clean energy innovations, especially in urban centres which account for half of Canada’s emissions. How do we finance these innovative solutions at the scale that is needed to meet the challenge? Join Jon Frank from Vancity Community Investment Bank, Mike Mellross from Alberta Ecotrust, and Thor Jensen from Alberta Ecotrust's Climate Innovation Fund Investment Committee to explore programs and frameworks to leverage and build resources to make an impact on our future.
