The Future of ClimateTech Under a Biden Administration
The election has come and mostly gone, and while there are still some stragglers (Georgia I’m looking at you) we are excited to look towards the future with a bit more certainty of what might be next.
With that in mind Buoyant will be hosting a cocktail hour event to discuss this further with Karen Wayland and Ian Adams, both have deep backgrounds in policy and government as well as broad networks across the public and private sector. We will start by sharing what we at Buoyant are watching for, discuss this with Karen and Ian, and then provide time for questions from the audience.
Be on the lookout for an invite from Buoyant to join the conversation on ClimateTech, Civics & Cocktails!

We were encouraged to read about climate as a risk in the Fed’s financial stability report. This report focuses on the economic and market forces that could impact financial service firms and laid out a framework for how climate impacts could flow through the financial system. This builds on a number of recent actions by financial institutions (JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs).

We also appreciate the US central bank's decision to join the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System, a progressive (albeit late) step toward aligning the US with the global central bank consensus on the financial system threats of climate change.
