Greening Wall Street from the ground up

With the generous support of HSBC, The Exchange launched the Wall Street Climate Forum for Young Professionals in September 2024 to address the growing need for climate-literate future leadership in global finance. This program was designed to build a trusted platform for early-career professionals to explore climate finance trends, expand their networks, and develop cross-disciplinary knowledge at the intersection of policy, capital markets, and sustainability.
