SUMMARY:Resilience as an Asset Class: The Role of Local Climate Finance in Housing and Community Investment.
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Montgomery County Green Bank’s Resilience Financing Program\, Protecting the Path to Net-Zero (PPNZ) \nAs climate impacts intensify\, federal resilience funding remains insufficient\, leaving billions in unmet resilience needs. Local green banks and CDFIs are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between community needs and private capital — but they require a model that works at the community scale while attracting sustained private investment. \nMontgomery County’s Protecting the Path to Net-Zero initiative demonstrates how a localized approach can de-risk investments and deliver measurable resilience ROI. \nDuring New York Climate Week\, join the Montgomery County Green Bank and technical partners PRE Collective\, AEI Consultants\, and Quantified Ventures for an in-depth look at PPNZ — a groundbreaking financing model that aligns private capital with scalable resilience strategies for housing and communities. This session will unveil a first-of-its-kind financial tool\, paired with a comprehensive technical framework\, to unlock catalytic capital for climate risk management\, water stewardship\, and health-focused housing improvements. From reduced operating costs to long-term savings through proactive resilience planning\, PPNZ illustrates how strategic investment—guided by standardized tools like the ASTM Property Resilience Assessment (PRA)—can unlock measurable value and risk-adjusted returns. This session will highlight the pivotal role of local green banks in designing market-enabling solutions that mobilize capital\, accelerate cross-sector collaboration\, and reframe resilience as an investable\, scalable opportunity. \nSpeakers \n\nSteve Morel\, CEO\, Montgomery County Green Bank\nLaura Mondragon\, Director of Climate Resilience and Adaptation\, Montgomery County Green Bank\nShalini Vajjhala\, Executive Director\, PRE COLLECTIVE\nTee Thomas\, CEO\, Quantified Ventures\nHelena Ariza\, Vice President\, Sustainability & Resilience\, AEI Consultants\n\n  \n✅ What You’ll Gain \n🔹 Transformative Perspective\nDiscover how local climate finance is driving market transformation.  \n🔹 Market-Relevant Insights\nExplore how PPNZ is creating new climate adaptation and resilience investment opportunities in the affordable housing sector.  \n🔹 Financial Strategy & Innovation\nUnderstand local financing structures that reduce investment risk while delivering measurable ROI. \n🔹 Cross-Sector Engagement\nConnect with leaders across finance\, policy\, and community development who are shaping the future of market-based resilience. \n🔹 Actionable Takeaways\nWalk away with strategies on how tailored\, needs-based financing can scale resilience across communities\, reduce climate risk exposure\, and drive long-term savings. \n🔹 On-the-Ground Tools\nLearn how tools like the ASTM E3429 Property Resilience Assessment (PRA)\, are informing smarter climate investments. \n  \nEvent Format:\nThe event will kick off with a networking session\, offering a chance to connect with peers across sustainable finance\, policy\, resilience\, housing\, and community development. This will be followed by an overview of the Montgomery County Green Bank’s Resilience Finance Program\, along with expert presentations highlighting investment opportunities and practical tools to guide effective resilience decision-making. We’ll conclude with a dynamic roundtable discussion focused on identifying tangible pathways for collaboration\, scaling\, and replication. \nWe look forward to welcoming you! \n

SUMMARY:Money Matters: Financing the Future of Climate
DESCRIPTION:Lewis Center Staff Host: Shraeya Madhu\, Manager\, Decarbonization \nSpeakers: Laura Mondragon\, Senior Director of Climate Resilience and Adaptation at Montgomery County Green Bank & Shalini Vajhala\, Founder of PRECollective \nDescription: Access to capital is one of the biggest barriers to advancing local climate action.

In this conversation\, hear from the Montgomery County Green Bank\, one of the nation’s first local green banks\, on how they pioneer financing solutions that accelerate clean energy and energy efficiency projects across Maryland. Laura and Shalini will explore how green banks are bridging the gap between private capital and community needs\, fostering a more resilient economy and community.

SUMMARY:FEOC: Are We Ready for 2026?
DESCRIPTION:FEOC or Foreign Entities of Concern\, is a term referring to companies linked to or controlled by China\, Russia\, Iran\, and North Korea. These FEOC rules\, particularly those from the Inflation Reduction Act and One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)\, are designed to reduce reliance on these nations in clean energy supply chains and can disqualify solar PV projects from receiving federal tax credits and incentives. \nThis webinar will bring four experts from the solar industry together to discuss how ready each segment of the industry is to comply with FEOC and what we need to do to get compliant if we are not there yet (spoiler alert -we’re not there yet). \nSpeakers: \n\nJessica Pitts\, Flywheel Development\, Co-Owner\nHumza Arshad\, Greentech Renewables\, Branch Manager\nLisa Walsh\, Solar Energy Services\, Commercial Sale Manager\nPamela Charles\, David Wright Tremaine\, Partner\, Chair of Tax Practice

SUMMARY:SCIENTISTS SERVING COMMUNITIES Community Workshop Advancing Climate Resilience in Maryland
DESCRIPTION:Scientists Serving Communities (SSC) is the Climate Resilience Network’s annual forum between University of Maryland experts and Maryland community leaders to discuss ongoing environmental issues facing Maryland community leaders\, stakeholders\, and decision-makers and identify how emerging research can strengthen community climate resilience efforts.

With SSC\, the Climate Resilience Network hopes to bridge the gap between academic research and practical implementation in community settings. \nTakeaways \nStakeholders and researchers should gain knowledge about the challenges that need to be \naddressed in different subject areas to move research science into applied science. At a minimum\, stakeholders should leave the workshop with several points of contact in subject matter that is most relevant to their efforts in the community. Ideally\, longer lasting collaborative efforts are started at the workshop that carry on-the-ground\, co-developed projects that Do Good in the region. \nFee \nSSC attendance is free of charge for stakeholders\, experts\, and researchers.
