Sitting with some of the #UN secretary generals staff yesterday they said that the Asset Owner Alliance was one of the most significant announcements of the summit! #climate

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress 🤣🤣

No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect.

They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman!

There have been eight total Women's World Cups. Here's how @USWNT has performed in each of them:

1991: 🏆
1995: 🥉
1999: 🏆
2003: 🥉
2007: 🥉
2011: 🥈
2015: 🏆
2019: 🏆

U.S. Men's National Team:

1930: 🥉

Tell me again why the U.S. Women's National Team is paid less?

I am disappointed that Science has allowed an abstract of a, otherwise good, paper to say that planting trees is "our most effective climate change solution to date". This is factually wrong and certainly a distraction. 1/2

Wow talk about gallows humour

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Ah yes, now Newt & the GOP are resorting to calling me a liar.

Who else do they call liars?
- 96% of scientists who agree on climate change
- Millions of Americans they locked up in the War on Drugs
- #MeToo survivors

So I’ll take it as a compliment. Thanks.

[Ceres @CeresNews]

Investors managing nearly half the world’s invested capital are demanding urgent action from governments on #climatechange, piling pressure on leaders of the world’s 20 biggest economies meeting this week. https://t.co/TGWKLmX7F7

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

Ok now someone explain why he is wrong so I can sleep at night

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

Wow...

[IntentionalEndowment @IntentEndowment]

Investors See ‘Material Risk’ in Ignoring #ESG | Asset owners expect environmental factors will be more material than traditional financial criteria in the next five years, according to a UBS survey. https://t.co/CULv1H9z9r

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

@roblake1959 Agree with you Rob. Fully accounting for risks in a portfolio isn't "moral", it's just fiduciary duty. Nonetheless, excited to see the @FT is launching this.

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

Gonna be a beautiful day here in Minneapolis! Come pick up a pair of shades from the MSCI exhibition stand at #USSIF before they're all gone!

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

I might have some reservations over the name (to me, ESG = fiduciary duty not morals), but yay! Can't wait to see this.

[Gillian Tett @gilliantett]

I have some exciting news! Next week @ft launches a new platform and newsletter #moralmoney to cover ESG, Impact investing, corporate purpose and all other initiatives for better business and finance. I am spearheading it - check it out and sign up! https://t.co/ELKwYcGfzv

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

Wow. Does this mean they're making changes to their own lobbying activities?

[Edward Mason @edwardcmason]

Glencore publishes its review of industry associations’ climate lobbying. It states @WorldCoal must develop a “clear strategic statement on the role of coal & zero emissions pathways”. “We will continue to monitor the status of our membership”. https://t.co/bMLn1XINdr

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

Looking forward to the US SIF conference here in a warm but cloudy Minneapolis. Do we have a hashtag? https://t.co/rvRll1qxaV

[Edward Mason @edwardcmason]

“Investors controlling trillions of dollars of funds are putting their weight behind attempts to get oil companies to play a bigger role in reducing global emissions. That’s increasing the urgency for the industry to take action” @ActOnClimate100 https://t.co/hP6SRyxmS2

[Chris Knowland @ESG_Chris]

Looking forward to hearing from state treasurers on how US public pension funds are integrating ESG...tune in on May 28 https://t.co/TcLtmdN2Ni

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Usury - aka high interest - happens to be explicitly denounced in the Bible (& in many other religions).

Looking forward to having the religious right uphold their principles + sign onto my bill. 😇

Unless of course they’re only invoking religion to punish women + queer people.
