Tom Steyer on Climate Activism Using Public Equity Market
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.
Environmental scientists and policy experts around the country agree that the massive wildfires are just the latest indicator that climate change has thrust the U.S., and the world, into a dangerous new era. The time is now; we must make changes and create policies that will help us get into a sustainable course that will create more jobs and help our economy. Sustainability & environmental justice have to be a priority; we must develop policies and bring a comprehensive program that connects equity, environmental justice, racial justice, economic justice, and job creation.
