Green Finance, Green Futures
Green Finance, Green Futures is a joint initiative between the University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School, the Bank of England and Skills Development Scotland. It is a pack for secondary school pupils to explore Green Finance.
This resource contains everything you need to know about what Green Finance is, and how green finance jobs and practices can contribute towards tackling climate change.
It is divided into three lessons that you can work through as part of a class or individually. Each lesson should each take about an hour to complete.
Each lesson includes:
- A slide pack you can work through including definitions, explanations and videos,
- A separate list of original short videos from a range climate and green finance experts from government, business and research institutions,
- An overview of key definitions and explanations from each lesson.
