Join the Sustainable Finance 2030 (SF30) Youth Research Lab Team!
Mission:
As climate change continues to loom and place significant pressure on human civilization and development, the corporate world has integrated financial tools to mitigate this issue. These tools include the carbon market, green bonds, and impact investing. Canada’s big 5 banks -- TD, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce -- have all joined the United Nations Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a global, industry-led initiative to accelerate and support efforts to address climate change. The United Nations has also laid out a blueprint to achieve sustainability, through the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Finance 2030 (SF30) Youth Research Lab is a group of passionate high school students who research on a sustainable finance tool that helps prevent global warming by 2030.
