Is Climate Change Risk a Consideration in Your Portfolio?

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. Cutting corners to avoid...

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. The text is a crucial step forward for the talks, as previous versions of the draft were judged to be too long and unwieldy for negotiators to grapple with in time for the December deadline. 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...

Economic Times: India's intended nationally determined contribution, or INDC, to combating climate change is out. By 2030, it will reduce the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per unit of GDP by 33-35% from its 2005 levels, increase the share of nonfossil fuels to 40% of total generation capacity; and increase its forest and tree cover to create an additional carbon sink for 2.5-3 billion tonnes carbon dioxide-equivalent. The plan is ambitious and achievable. It builds on India's ambitious climate actions...

Robert Redford: Pope Francis Is Right, Climate Change Is a Moral Imperative

EcoWatch: Pope Francis address to Congress will go down in history as a day when the needle finally moved on climate change. The pontiffs timely message of more dialogue and less discord, respect for life in all of its stages, and a call to protect our common home was irrepressible and impossible to ignore. Sometimes you need a friend to tell you the truth. It took someone from outside the U.S. to come and remind us who we are--nd who we are supposed to be. The choice has never been clearer. If we carry...
