@seankidney great observation: Green bonds represent a triumph of science over political constraint. It is now imperative that government and industry listen to the IPCC

#ClimateActionLive #SIF20 conference clock shows 7 years and 45 days before dangerous climate change becomes inevitable at today's rate of emissions. Act BIG now! #ClimateEmergency

#ClimateActionLive #SIF20 @RODOLFOLACY: "The new Biden administration brings optimism that we can broker the multilateral action needed for a #GlobalGreenDeal". Here's to that!

#ClimateActionLive #SIF20 @MariaMendiluce #GreenNewDeal includes 4 key factors: best science, carbon pricing, accounting for risk associated with emissions intensive businesses, need for jobs

[Rob Wilkinson @wilkinson_rob]

#ClimateActionLive #SIF20 @diederiksamsom the next decade is the last and best opportunity to make a global Green Deal happen

@thinkDIF_ @rushkoff Thx for the optimism: The flux in the political landscape gives us an opportunity to get our hands back into production

@thinkDIF_ @rushkoff the derivatives business of the NYSE actually bought the exchange, a marketplace consumed by an abstraction!

@thinkDIF_ @rushkoff Think Global Does Not Work: the unit of a city is more congruent with the principles of the #circulareconomy
