John, last month, we took a step back and asked you something: What questions do you have regarding our changing climate and world?
The responses poured in—and Kirsten James, one of our leading experts on water policy, answered your most pressing questions in a recent home-video. Today, we’re back for another round of Ask An Expert, and we want to hear from you!
We’re thrilled to introduce Veena Ramani and Steven Rothstein, two of our foremost experts working on the Ceres Accelerator—anew Ceres center to engage financial regulators, banks and more on the systemic solutions needed to tackle the climate crisis and accelerate progress at record pace.
The issues we work on together are complex: They rest at the intersection of environmentalism, economics, and activism.
And John, they are bound to raise questions—some of which we’ve already received:
What role, if any, do U.S. financial regulators play in addressing climate change?
The Federal Reserve recently announced unlimited bond purchases in light of the coronavirus pandemic: Could it similarly take action to affect the climate crisis?
How much influence do insurance companies have in driving climate risk mitigation through the rest of the economy?
It’s difficult to overstate the importance of this work—of our work, John. The past weeks have been filled with 100-year storms, shocking wildfires, and skies that can only be described as apocalyptic.
The Ceres Accelerator is poised to make major change, at scale, across industries to create real progress.
Ceres is a sustainability nonprofit organization working with the most influential investors and companies to build leadership and drive solutions throughout the economy.
