EVENT DETAILS
Jed Emerson, Strategic Advisor; Senior Research Fellow, University of Heidelberg's Center on Social InvestingDonna Morton, CEO & Co-Founder, Change Finance
How did we come to separate our understanding of economic/financial value from social/environmental value? How did we come to think of ourselves as being separate from our neighbors, community & planet? By crafting a new, holistic understanding of ourselves & our relationship to one another, we are able to approach a deeper, more significant understanding of the purpose of capital, which may then anchor our definition of the purpose of capital, how we understand the nature of returns (both financial & extra-financial) & a deeper understanding of the meaning of money.
In a fireside chat, Donna Morton & Jed Emerson will explore these ideas-history & culture-connecting those within the current trend toward impact investing & sustainable finance as vehicles to generate financial returns with social & environmental impacts & the creation of a more just world for both human & nonhuman communities. The audience will come away with a new mindset for a future that is clean, just & regenerative for people & planet. Asking new questions-how can the people left out of the economy become our greatest assets-financial activism could unite Occupy & Wall Street, the 99 & the 1 percent. Movements such as Black Lives Matter, sanctuary cities, intersectional feminism & climate justice are the edges & opportunities for finance. Beyond divestment, the speakers will discuss moving finance from harm to healing.
