LWVUS Climate Interest Group: Guest Speaker Climate Investor Tom Steyer - 5 PM MT
About this event
The League of Women Voters of the US Climate Interest Group invites League members and their guests to a LWVUS presentation with guest speaker climate investor Tom Steyer, the author of Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We’ll Win the Climate War. This book was highly praised by Al Gore and Bill McKibben.
Tom is the founder and co-executive chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, a climate-focused global investment firm. Central to the firm’s thesis is the belief of an absolute, unequivocal need to win in the marketplace with clean products and services that are cheaper, faster, and better.
Steyer played a key role in preserving California's Global Warming Solutions Act, while also working to pass clean energy initiatives and advocate for environmental justice across the country. He also co-founded Beneficial State Bank, a triple bottom line community development bank focused on justice and sustainability, and TomKat Ranch, a regenerative ranch dedicated to raising cattle with a negative carbon footprint.
In 2013, Steyer founded NextGen America (formerly known as NextGen Climate), the largest youth voter engagement organization in American history, whose climate-focused messaging and outreach advocated for 50% clean energy by 2030.
