EPA Climate Change Lecture 2021

Direct the money: how does finance become an enabler of a climate neutral economy and society?

Wednesday 24 February, 2021 @ 7.15pm

The Environmental Protection Agency, with the Government of Ireland and as part of the National Dialogue on Climate Action, will host an online public lecture with Climate KIC Chief Executive Officer, Dr Kirsten Dunlop.

Dunlop will set out how Climate KIC is investing systemically to change whole places and economic sectors, how it is matching the available pools of capital to the need – such as ‘cities as an asset class’ for investment – and how we can avoid an oversupply of capital to ‘green-designated’ assets to ensure that investment is also flowing to transition-based assets and businesses in hard-to-abate sectors.

All of this to answer the following context-specific question: How can financial services be mobilised to deliver systemic change in Ireland?
