The B Corp Banking Model – A Viable Framework for Sustainable Banking and Regenerative Business Practices. Please join us to hear from special guest speaker Lynne Marie Auzenne from Beneficial State Bank. Businesses, including banks, make bold and impressive claims when it comes to their commitments to our communities and the planet. Greenwashing pays as consumers, particularly Gen Z, make decisions based on the ethos of businesses. We need to raise the bar for green marketing integrity. How can sustainable and ethical banking, and all business for that matter, credibly differentiate and signal trustworthiness and deep commitment to green practices? One model has been tested and adopted by over 6,000 businesses in more than 80 countries – B Lab’s Impact Assessment. We’ll explore this growing movement and how B Lab’s resources can be leveraged for almost any business to be greener and to communicate their commitment to people and the planet in context and with credibility. There will be time for questions from the audience. There is no charge for this online event, but you must register in advance Once you do, you will receive a confirmation email with the link to join the meeting. This will also enable us to inform you if there are any last minute announcements, instructions or other information. Thank you.

There are growing concerns about the risk of conflict between the United States and China over Taiwan. This presentation explores the rising tensions by analyzing three different abstract terms: the pursuit by Beijing of "peaceful" unification with Taiwan; the U.S. commitment to "unofficial" relations with Taiwan; and U.S. opposition to unilateral changes to the "status quo" in the Taiwan Strait. For decades, these terms served as a bargain for maintaining peace and stability, but the agreement was only theoretical, because the United States and China never reached a joint understanding of what these terms mean in practice. Against the backdrop of great power competition, the discrepancies in the U.S. approach has been laid bare, raising the risk that the bargain could unravel entirely and lead to war between the United States and China. Join the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC) and 21st Century China Center for a talk with Dr. James Lee, assistant research fellow at the Institute of European and American Studies at Academia Sinica in Taiwan and an affiliated researcher at IGCC. His research has been published in International Studies Quarterly, Business and Politics, the Journal of Strategic Studies, the Journal of East Asian Studies, and the Journal of Chinese Political Science. His policy writing has been published in Global Asia, the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, East Asia Forum, Political Violence at a Glance, and The Diplomat. He received his Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University in 2018 and subsequently held research positions at the European University Institute in Florence and the University of California, San Diego. In the fall of 2023, he will be an Eisenhower Defense Fellow at the NATO Defense College in Rome. Stay Connected on Social Media! Instagram & Twitter
