The projects offered will be centered around Treasurer Read's
commitment to decarbonize our investment portfolio by working
toward a net-zero carbon emission target by 2050. Earlier this year
the Treasurer announced his intention to better prepare for the
long-term risks and opportunities that climate change presents to
our pension fund investments: a commitment to decarbonize our
investment portfolio by working toward a net-zero carbon emission
target by 2050. Specifically, he will be focusing his efforts over
the next year on working with our team and partners to present a
responsible, thoughtful, and practical decarbonization plan to the
Oregon Investment Council by February of 2024.
Oregon is looking for its next generation of public finance
leaders. Government is a multi-billion-dollar business. To succeed
and protect the public good, government needs bold, diverse, and
innovative leaders with business acumen and a commitment to
service. Quality of life, after all, is directly tied to financial
security.
The business of government at Oregon State Treasury includes
investment management, debt management, financial services, and
management of financial empowerment programs. The Robert W. Straub
Fellowships at the Oregon State Treasury offer experience and
opportunity in a leading institutional investment fund and
government financial hub.
