The Upsilon Sigma Phi invites everyone to the fifth installment of U-Talks Climate Action Series. This session will revolve around how climate finance will enable us to achieve the goal of net-zero carbon emissions.

The climate change crisis has mobilized governments, organizations, and individuals to take immediate action against global warming, but in many cases, this requires a shift to more expensive practices and technologies. The talk will focus on governments’ funding pledges, and how environmental, social, and governance factors are critical in accessing these funds.
