We are grateful for the work that the National Banking Association does year after year and excited to see how these insights will contribute to a more equitable future. Bill Peterson, our Director of Climate Lending, Amir Kirkwood, and Reginald W took to the stage to share their climate lending expertise. We thank the National Banking Association for its important work and for giving Amalgamated Bank the opportunity to participate and provide thought leadership in how climate lending can drive growth in communities.

The good news is that businesses can reduce their financial support for harmful industries by simply choosing more responsible banking partners.

With B Lab, we co-hosted a Networking Happy Hour focused on Climate Finance Action. We met outstanding individuals who discussed the growth of climate financing in their sectors. This is what progress towards a greener future looks like solution-oriented conversations that will succeed in our shared goal of positively impacting our world. As #ClimateWeek2024 winds down, it's imperative that we continue these conversations for a more sustainable future.
