Why do we keep having corporate & financial crises? What can we do about them? What's the role of institutional investors? That's what we are about!

the most powerful climate report of the decade was published on monday, after 195 governments fought over the words in its summary for policymakers, and the only media allowed in the room just published its account of who lobbied for what 1/

.@melnakagawa & @Microsoft - Thank you for acknowledging the importance of policy in addressing the climate crisis at the speed and scale required. However, you are still obstructing climate progress through your memberships in big trade associations… (🧵1/5)
Melanie Nakagawa@melnakagawa

This week’s IPCC report reminds us of how much work is left to do in addressing the climate crisis. I’m encouraged by the collaboration and innovation I see every day. From policy to investment in innovations, we all have a role to play on the road to net-zero.

@RajThamotheram @ActOnClimate100 A related question is: what consequences for companies who don't have plans, or whose plans are too timid? What will investors request? Will they vote against directors and accounts? And how quickly? Our take: at this stage of the climate crisis, consequences should be immediate.

Great to see this! @PreventableS called for this in 2015 too. Given the #climatecrisis is so much more serious & that disruption is now inevitable - either planned or "natural" - shouldn't we be talking about *Transformation* Plans now? preventablesurprises.com/climate-disrup… @ActOnClimate100
We Mean Business Coalition (inactive)@WMBtweets

Every company needs a Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP) to turn their climate ambition into near-term action. We worked with @CDP, @Ceres and @EnvDefenseFund to provide companies with new guidance to create their plan: wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/blog/climate-t…

#EffectiveAltruism advocates who say #EA is fine, #SBF was just another high level fraudster are in denial. This insightful oped explains how/why EA led to this fraud & corporate implosion. Interesting that it comes from a former religious correspondent! #PreventableSurprises

I hope effective altruism learns some serious lessons from the fall of its billionaire bankroller @SBF_FTX. The FTX scandal should get EA to question its philosophical foundations, not just do a cosmetic makeover. Here’s 6 reasons for that 🧵 vox.com/future-perfect…

@alexwilks Congratulations on being the first! I wonder who else might be willing? And then we need to figure out a process which is fit for purpose!

V worrying. If we can't imagine it, it won't happen. So are the key climate advocates - individuals, NGOs, funders etc - *willing* to consider what *they* could do differently? This means really listening to informed critics. That takes considerable maturity & real confidence.

A shocking moment during #ClimateWeekNYC last week. At an evening event, I asked for a show of hands: who was confident we’ll be at half global emissions by 2030? 🧵(1/7)

#Omicrom is yet another #PreventableSurprise. Risk reduction should have been the priority. Instead #corporatecapture by #BigPharma - and its intellectual allies - was tolerated. Vaccine manufacturing where it is needed eg Africa has been blocked. @michaelmina_lab @David_McNair

JFC. What the hell Of course we saw Delta coming And we saw Omicron coming. This is NOT surprising and, if it was to the White House, @VP, then you are being advised by the wrong people.

In 2016 the #Missing60 campaign highlighted that the big U.S. mega managers were the major enablers of dysfunctional corporate & market behaviour when it came to #ClimateCrisis. huffpost.com/entry/the-miss… 5 yrs later, there's some progress on the E but little progress on the S #ESG
