In an episode dedicated to exploring the environmental issues that affect everyone, Kenisha and Griffin start with a visit from Head, Strategic Initiatives & ESG, RBC Capital Markets, Lindsay Patrick. Lindsay reveals how banking can impact climate change, aspects of which may really surprise our audience. Lindsay takes our hosts through the various environmental programs RBC is involved in, including Tech for Nature, and offers advice on what careers are being created or enhanced because of the drive for climate change. We then catch up with Sharif Mahdy, who is the Executive Director of the Students Commission of Canada. Sharif’s organization runs the Canada We Want conference, where youth from all over Canada meet to discuss their vision for the future of Canada, which of course includes the topic of climate change. Sharif discusses what he has heard from the young people he works with about this subject, and also shares the rewards he has felt from being a long-time mentor.RBCRBC Future Launch - https://www.rbc.com/dms/enterprise/futurelaunch/index.htmlRBC Future Launch Contact Information:
