From Wildfire Risk to Community Resilience: Financing and Delivering System-Scale Solutions

​Join Innovera, Buckminster Fuller Institute, and the Financial Women’s Association of New York during Climate Week NYC for a timely conversation on how innovative financing can help communities prepare for growing physical climate risks, from wildfires to flooding.

​The discussion will explore community-scale approaches that unite public and private partners to reduce risk, strengthen infrastructure, and finance more resilient communities. Innovera will introduce its CIRCLE Framework for advancing infrastructure that delivers and protects community benefits and will share opportunities to participate in working groups over the coming quarter.
