About this talk
Looking for new ways to take climate action? We all know that money talks, and this webinar, presented by Adam Scott of Shift: Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health, Matt Price of For Our Kids, and Matthew Lie-Paehlke of Climate Pledge Collective, explores why engaging with pension funds and banks might be one of our most powerful tools for demanding change.
All working Canadians are a member of at least one of the top 10 funds that invest more than $1.6 trillion of Canadians retirement savings. Many also have mortgages, RRSPs, or are clients of a major Canadian bank. How these banks and pensions invest our hard-earned wealth is a major factor in how quickly we can transition to a low-carbon economy. Join us to learn how we can work together and shift investments into climate safety for ourselves and for our kid's future through a lively presentation, discussion, and Q&A.
