*Sold out* on the SF Climate Week Panel with myself and Dan Chu of the Sierra Club Foundation. We'll be talking about how to to shift trillions of dollars into climate solutions. What I think will be fun--based on the early conversations he, Pedro Henriques da Silva, and I are having--is that we have very different areas of expertise and perspectives. Dan and Pedro oversee the Sierra Club Foundation, where they have more freedom for deployment of capital, which makes foundation money faster, if less scalable. From my perspective at Carbon Collective, 401(k)s and 403(b)s are some of the tightest frameworks for fiduciary investing, but we have an approach that compliments what Dan/Pedro are seeing and can reach huge scale. Plus, there's a bunch of overlap, and we both have a deep enthusiasm for the topic. Where the magic is going to happen is that we recognize how many other experts there are in other areas of investing (banking, VC, High net worth, etc.), and we're going to be strategically cultivating the conversation with the other experts in the audience. Looking at the list now, it gets me excited about the community we can create, the insights we can share, and how fast we can move money into climate solutions in a fiduciarily responsible way! https://lu.ma/mqqq9s3n
