Delighted to join @calvertimpcap's board. They have been so influential in creating a more sustainable, inclusive financial system. I am honoured to join them for this next phase in their work.
We're thrilled to announce the addition of @Generationfndt's Grace Eddy to our board of directors. Eddy brings deep experience in #SustainableInvesting & equitable climate solutions that will elevate our work. https://t.co/se1G8YDKFx

I’m thrilled by this attention for the @IPCC_CH report.
My last thread has surpassed a million impressions, with no satire, celebrities, or snark. That’s really something 😃.
So let’s talk about #climate solutions sector-by-sector.🧵

@robott1961@MatthewCappucci Nurses are still hugely underpaid for what they do. $15/hour in 1988 is over $35/hour today which is $2 more than the current average US RN pay and $4 more than the avg starting wage.
