How do we leverage unprecedented public investment to build infrastructure that responds to both the climate crisis and the needs of underserved communities?
At the SGC Catalyst Conference, hosted in partnership with the Milken Institute, participants will work together to understand the opportunities and barriers to building a pipeline of community-led climate projects. Over a two-day period, community leaders, funders, government policymakers, and academics will explore models that are helping to prepare underserved communities for investment and oversee project implementation, as well as innovative public-private partnerships that deepen investment and accelerate decarbonization. The conference environment will create space for learning, partnerships, and the co-creation of new standards and bold ideas to catalyze action during this transformational moment in history.
