Social Justice in Climate Finance Symposium
2026-12-04 01:00 - 2026-12-05 00:59 | 100 Panetta Conference Room, 100 Panetta Ave, Santa Cruz, 95060, United States
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:

First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your knowledge of the Arboretum’s plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending on the time of year, the interests of the tour guide, and the people who join in. For example, you might learn about the birds and mammals that make this land their home or about the amazing physical adaptations that plants have evolved to better deal with our extreme weather and climate conditions. Tours are free with paid admission.
