Many respond with fear and anxiety in the face of current changes in climate and when looking ahead to the inevitable changes that are to come. We are bombarded with messages that we have to change the way we live, while acutely aware that changing to energy saving light bulbs is a drop in the ocean. A desire to help, but feeling disempowered, is leading to a dwindling hope for our future.
The Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV) is an independent network of banks and banking cooperatives with a shared mission to put people’s needs first. We find solutions to international problems by promoting a positive, viable alternative to the current financial system.

This seminar has been organised to promote pioneers in social and green finance. As specialists in this field we are familiar with the many great organisations and individuals active in social and environmental finance.

We will be bringing together four different organisations at one event to educate and inform the wider public of the work we and they do and its significance.
