Would you like to be a part of an inclusive, supportive group of engineering instructors who do this in community?

Social Justice in Climate Finance Symposium
2026-12-04 01:00 - 2026-12-05 00:59 | CA
December 4, 2026 at UC Santa Cruz
The Social Justice in Climate Finance Symposium brings together global communities within and beyond academia to envision how to mobilize climate financing for the benefit of frontline communities. To meet our collective climate challenges, we must reimagine how billions of dollars are invested into building resilient societies. We welcome climate and environmental justice leaders across sectors to propose their priorities and approaches for inclusive climate investments from public, private, and individual sources. The goal of the symposium is to identify pathways for adaptation and mitigation funding to protect and empower those experiencing the most acute climate impacts by aligning investment strategies with academic approaches and governmental policies, while centering community voices.
The in-person, one-day symposium at UC Santa Cruz will include two keynote addresses from Dave Jones, former California Insurance Commissioner and a community leader to be identified through the nomination detailed process below (TBC). We will also feature presenters, including local and global leaders from CBOs, Environmental Justice (EJ) and Climate Justice (CJ) practitioners, policymakers, and academics.
We are currently accepting:
