Event Overview

How will corporations act in a rapidly warming world? Can they help slow climate change and support communities in adapting—or will they deepen the crisis?

Join UCSC Climate Action Now and the Earth Futures Institute for a virtual panel exploring how corporate power can either accelerate or avert a +3°C future. Our speakers will examine:

• Crowdfunding solar and other climate solutions
• Corporate greenwashing and how to see through it
• Blue bonds and structured finance for climate resilience
• Market shaping and the politics of climate investing
• The Salton Sea lithium fight and the risks of “green” extraction

This conversation invites both learning and critical questioning as we consider what meaningful corporate climate action should look like.
