About this listen

In this episode, ED4S CEO Maria Maisuradze sits down with Senator Rosa Galvez, the leading voice behind the Climate-Aligned Finance Act (CAFA). As Canada faces increasing economic volatility, Senator Galvez explains why legislative "alignment" is the key to moving beyond disclosure toward real-world impact. The discussion explores how CAFA acts as a foundational pillar, harmonizing with existing frameworks like OSFI's Guideline B-15 and ISSB S2 standards and upcoming taxonomy, illustrating how these regulations provide a clear roadmap for capital allocation. By creating a standardized "rulebook," Canada can mitigate systemic risk and ensure our financial system is built for long-term resiliency. Senator Galvez and Maria highlight that policy alone isn't enough; the financial workforce requires the technical expertise to interpret climate data and integrate it into investment strategies. Developing these internal competencies is essential for leveraging the massive opportunities of the net-zero transition. Join us to learn how systemic regulation and a commitment to upskilling can turn climate risk into Canada's greatest economic advantage.
