New episode and announcements
Hi MCJ community,
Episode #89 is live! Also, we added a couple of community postings after the episode, as we are going to experiment with making these newsletters more valuable than just updating you about episode releases and monthly updates about my journey. Rather than make these about my journey, we want to move to making them more about providing valuable info for all of you! To that end, if you have feedback/suggestions for what kinds of content to include (for example, job postings from the community, great articles or books from the week, longer form thoughts around key learnings, etc), we are all ears!
Let us know at info@myclimatejourney.co.

📼New MCJ episode #89: Jeffrey Schub, Executive Director at the Coalition for Green Capital
Today's guest is Jeffrey Schub, Executive Director at the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC). CGC is an international 501(c)(3) nonprofit that finances clean energy investments in the U.S. and in developing nations through the incubation of “green banks.” These banks, in turn, invest in mission-driven projects that may not otherwise be able to access capital on the commercial market. In its decade-long history, CGC has deployed over $2 billion in clean energy investments throughout the world.
Jeff manages the organization and leads all business development, fundraising, and project management activities. His work in over a dozen states in the U.S. has led to green banks securing and investing hundreds of millions of dollars into clean energy. This episode cleared up some misconceptions that I had about what green banks are, their significance in addressing climate change, and how to go about establishing them. I hope you find this discussion as fascinating as I did!
Feel free to get in touch with any questions or feedback. And if you find it valuable, please help spread the word!
