PUTTING A PRICE ON NATURE
THE ROLE OF NATURAL CAPITAL IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

The Tuck School of Business is pleased to host its inaugural Virtual Natural Capital Summit. 

Tuck’s Revers Center for Energy and Center for Business, Government, and Society are collaborating to bring together industry experts for discussions on the role of finance in the valuation and preservation of the natural world. Sessions will range from panel discussions to networking breakouts and a forward-looking fireside chat to wrap up the day.

We will explore a variety of topics including carbon capture, water credits, and the community impacts of these projects in order to answer the overarching question:

"What is the role of capital markets
in the fight against climate change?"
