Responses to climate change have broad and substantial human rights implications felt near and far. The concept of just transition puts front and center the welfare of affected workers and communities in order to ensure that the greening of the economy is fair, just, and inclusive. This event brings together academic researchers, human rights practitioners, and business professionals to address the role of business, focusing on the responsibilities of investors to ensure that the transition to net zero leaves no one behind.

About the Keynote Speaker

Treasurer Erick Russell was sworn in as Connecticut’s 84th State Treasurer on January 4, 2023. Growing up in New Haven, he adopted the work ethic and financial responsibility of his parents by working in the family’s small convenience store. He was the first in his family to graduate from college and law school, becoming a successful attorney.

As Treasurer, Russell is continuing the public finance and social equity work that defined his legal career. In addition to sound and ethical pension fund management, he is prioritizing financial literacy and long-term investments to promote economic opportunity. He continues to live in New Haven with his husband, Christopher Lyddy. Russell is the first Black out LGBTQ person to win an election for statewide office in American history.
