ACAW - Where Climate Meets Capital
Website
Description
Who pays? What gets funded? Who benefits? and who decides?
Trillions of dollars are now being mobilised globally for climate action, yet many of the communities facing the greatest risks struggle to access finance. From Pacific Island nations to remote Aboriginal communities and regional Australia, climate resilience raises profound questions about equity, justice and shared prosperity.
South Australia has an opportunity not only to accelerate its own transition, but to help demonstrate how climate finance can deliver benefits for people and places often left behind.
Join influential leaders from finance, philanthropy, and academia for a panel conversation on the future of climate finance.
Our speaker lineup features leading voices driving climate action and investment, including Charles Yu, Regional Lead – Sustainable Finance, Asia and the Pacific, United Nations Development Programme and Dr Amanda Cahill, Founder of The Next Economy with more speakers to be announced.
This forum offers an exceptional opportunity to hear from experts, engage with peers across sectors, and build connections to accelerate climate action.
