9:00 a.m. U.S. Central Daylight Time (CDT) Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. It will require cooperation on a global scale. Credit unions have a unique role as member-owned cooperative financial institutions; they prioritize community resilience and long-term sustainability. This is an opportunity for credit unions to innovate, serve member needs and expand their relevance.
This World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) virtual event will explore some of the challenges climate change presents to sovereign credit ratings around the world and the impact that has on credit unions. The webinar will also explore some of the challenges credit unions in Africa and Ukraine face, and how they are working on climate-resilient solutions in response to those challenges.
This webinar will feature presentations from.
- Kamiar Mohaddes, Professor of Economics and Policy, Cambridge University (UK)
- Grace Akinyi, Head of Programs and Business Development, African Confederation of Cooperative Savings and Credit Associations (ACCOSCA)
- Alisa Stetsyshyn, Lead Communications Consultant, USAID/WOCCU Credit for Agriculture Producers (CAP) Project in Ukraine.
