The Inequity of Climate Change: Finance, Policy, Justice

March 1, 2022 - 5:00 PM

Online and Tinkham Veale University Center Ballroom, 11038 Bellflower Road, Cleveland, OH  44106 (Please note new location.)

Global Ethical Leaders Society (GELS) will moderate a panel discussion on climate change through the lens of finance, public policy, and environmental justice. They  are honored to be joined by three leaders in the Ohio area sustainability space: Andrew Watterson, Callia Téllez, and Councilwoman Stephanie Howse. Each brings a unique perspective; from Cleveland’s first Chief of Sustainability to a climate advocate and researcher on Ohio’s Environmental Council to an elected official tasked with implementing environmental policies.

GELS is a student organization that seeks to challenge our beliefs and understanding on particular topics through dialogue and discourse. They believe that discussing pressing issues such as climate change is essential for developing robust solutions. As the world looks to meet targets outlined in the Paris Agreement, challenges exist on a localized level in the greater Ohio area. The event will cover a variety of topics including existing and developing climate solutions, climate financing, and what equity looks like in a green economy, followed by a question and answer period.
