For nearly a year, COVID-19 has run roughshod over our economy, at home and abroad.
Meanwhile, with the world’s focus turned to pandemic response, the current U.S. federal government promptly began to roll back more than 125 environmental rules and regulations (not to mention withdrawing us from the Paris Agreement—the global plan to fight climate change).
It sounds daunting, but we have an opportunity to do much more than recover from the crisis. As a new U.S. president takes office and with a vaccine on the horizon, we can, we WILL build back better and create a more just and sustainable world.
What America decides to do in 2021 matters. With the backing of the world’s largest investors and companies, paired with the strength of the U.S. economy, we will finally be within striking distance of the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5℃. A net-zero emissions world is in our reach.
And John, your gift quite literally helps realize these global climate goals. That’s the power of investing in the Ceres strategy.
With much appreciation and thanks for your generosity,
