At the intersection of sustainability and finance are the hot topics of stakeholder and impact investing, climate finance, and corporate responsibility.

Cornell SC Johnson College of Business dean Andrew Karolyi will moderate this special event inaugurating new classrooms and collaboration spaces on the 7th Floor of 570 Lexington Avenue, the historic General Electric building. 

Focused on climate finance and data analytics --expanding disciplines in the college’s approach to business education -- the hybrid event will take place during the COP26 global climate conference. Karolyi, school deans Walsh, Zhao, and Nelson, faculty, alumni experts, and industry leaders will share their informed perspectives on where we are and where we need to go. The Cornell delegation to COP26 will join in, sharing real-time insights from Glasgow, Scotland.

 “This midtown Manhattan landmark is just the right location for our expanding home in New York City,” said Karolyi. “And this timing is germane to the goal of showing our expertise in the climate finance space. It’s particularly meaningful and valuable to physically populate our 570 Lex classrooms with our faculty experts, as we start to build new teaching, learning, and outreach relationships into the college’s life in New York City.”
