Climate Change

Climate Change
Climate change isn’t a cliff we fall off, but a slope we slide down.
Kate Marvel

Our point of view:
  • Climate change is happening.
  • It's largely human-induced. 
  • We are past the point of no return.
  • Going forward, adjustments and adaptation will be the modus operandi (MO).
  • The least prepared or able to adjust and adapt will bear the brunt of the effects.This is an environmental justice issue.

 Q: Is there a way to invest in companies engaged in fighting climate change?
A: We believe climate change is a done deal-- that it is not reversible in our lifetimes-- and that the impacts are likely to become more frequent, serious, widespread, and long-lasting.

We believe it's impossible to know ahead of time and with high conviction, which companies will succeed in delivering solutions for preventing, responding to, or adapting to climate change.
