Climate change poses a risk to our banks and insurance companies. This is a ‘systemic financial risk’ that must be recognized by our society.   We talk with an expert to learn more about the stakes of this staggering potential crisis.

The reading list

• The Ceres Accelerator
• Ceres report on addressing climate risk
• A report by the Climate Related Market Risk subcommittee of the CFTC

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon to safeguard our collective future.

Thanks for listening.
