Today at #NYClimateWeek, I attended Rethinking Finance, a symposium about the future of climate-conscious finance for both communities and corporations. The discussions highlighted how we can leverage technology, green lending, and investment strategies to accelerate climate action where it's needed most—especially in underserved communities. It’s clear that the next 5 years will be pivotal in aligning capital with climate priorities, and ensuring investments reflect our values. Today's speakers, Lynn von Koch-Liebert Rachel Halfaker Damon Burns Alexander Shermansong Beatriz Da Cunha Bonnie Gurry RAVI S MIKKELSEN Rodrigo Garcia Ayala Kellen Parker, CFA Matt Spence Desiree Thomas Tony Berkley Katelyn Meehan Genevieve Rose Sherman Amanda Li outlined ways to optimize green lending and build a finance system that prioritizes sustainability. I’m eager to see how we can further integrate these strategies into our work at The Center by Lendistry to bring more equity and impact to the table. Lendistry Janet P. Lynn Fernandez

I’m energized by the momentum here at #NYClimateWeek! This is a powerful reminder that the future of climate leadership must be diverse, inclusive, and collaborative. Yesterday, I attended the Brilliant Women's Mastermind: Catalyzing the Brilliance of BIPOC Women panel, where Radhika Fox from the @Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and other inspiring women shared bold visions for how we can drive climate action by centering equity and innovation. The climate challenges we face require bold solutions, and I’m thrilled to connect with a growing network of changemakers who are making that happen. From supporting climate resiliency for small businesses to championing frontline communities, I am more committed than ever to advancing efforts that empower those most impacted by climate change. Excited for the conversations and collaborations ahead! Lynn von Koch-Liebert Jessica Buendia Laura Simão Janet P. Malcolm Leverett Sasha Arias The Center by Lendistry Lendistry
