Housed at Smith School of Business, the Institute for Sustainable Finance is the first of its kind in Canada. With the official launch of institute on Tuesday, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Chancellor Jim Leech and ISF Executive Director Sean Cleary had their opinion piece published in the Globe and Mail.

By developing the CSFN the Institute for Sustainable Finance is building upon its mandate to align mainstream financial markets with Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s transition to a prosperous sustainable economy.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The Institute for Sustainable Finance aims to create the most credible and robust body of sustainable finance knowledge in the country,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says institute executive director, Sean Cleary, BMO Professor of Finance and Founding Director of the Master of Finance program at Smith School of Business at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Establishing the CSFN as a critical resource for Canadian leaders is one way we can help guide the massive transition to a sustainable economy.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The 44 members from 16 universities of the CSFN, which include Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트, 카지노게임사이트 of Calgary, Dalhousie 카지노게임사이트, Concordia 카지노게임사이트, 카지노게임사이트 of Victoria, and 카지노게임사이트 of Manitoba, will serve as an engine and collaboration platform for academia, industry and government to move sustainable finance forward in Canada. Its initiatives include expanding research partnerships and joint funding opportunities, creating a repository of education resources and growing program offerings, and collaborating with like-minded organizations such as the Global Research Alliance for Sustainable Finance and Investments (GRASFI). 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Climate change is becoming a mainstream policy issue, and increasingly understood to have potentially serious financial consequences as well as being the source of significant opportunity. As a result, it is becoming an increasing focus for the global financial system, given the multi-faceted role finance plays in allocating capital and managing risk within key sectors of the economy,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Andy Chisholm, a member of the institute카지노 게임 컬렉션s advisory board and a member of the Canadian Expert Panel on Sustainable Finance. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Canada needs to keep up, and where appropriate, take a leadership role if we are to stay globally competitive,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he adds. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The longer we delay the more risk we take on and the more opportunity we forego or cede to others in a low-carbon transition. Universities have an important role to play and will be most effective in this space if they are encouraged to build off of and leverage each other카지노 게임 컬렉션s strengths and advances. That is why this collaborative cross-country network is critical.카지노 게임 컬렉션 

In addition to launching the CSFN, the Institute for Sustainable Finance has undertaken education initiatives to foster a deeper base of knowledge and expertise in Canada. In addition to the development of traditional academic courses, the institute and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Executive Education are launching programs for business professionals. The first program on Sustainable Investing will run April 15-17, 2020 in Toronto with more to follow. These efforts align with the Institute카지노 게임 컬렉션s overall goal to significantly boost Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s capacity 카지노 게임 컬렉션 in both the long and the short-term 카지노 게임 컬렉션 to implement sustainable finance approaches that will enable the country to thrive through a low-carbon transition. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Working collaboratively on sustainable finance solutions, our world-class Canadian talent will help shape the financial system Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s future needs,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Cleary.
