Nasdaq: What should we fear most? 'Events dear boy, events,' was British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's answer. This rings true when surveying the VW debacle . The company's cheating on emissions tests has instantly crashed its reputation and, to some extent, that of an industry and entire country. Investors have been reminded that risk and opportunity are, by definition, uncertain. Climate change risks stretch beyond the familiar areas of utilities and fossil fuel producers.

Guardian: A new draft of the potential global agreement on climate change, to be negotiated this December in Paris, has been published by the United Nations.

Governments are meeting in Paris to forge a new global agreement on the climate, including cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, that will take effect from 2020,...

Guardian: As state and federal governments continue to fail at halting climate change at the global and national levels, smaller communities have a great opportunity to take change-making initiative. Without assistance from national governments, municipal environmental groups have set up their own local peer-to-peer networks, and indigenous communities like the Lubicon Cree First Nation have reclaimed tar sands for solar. Supporting the expansion of such projects from one community to another could be the...
