Gender at COP: this climate needs to change
It’s disappointing that men have been over-represented at COP26, especially since climate change disproportionately affects women, mainly in southern parts of the globe.

Across developed […]
Adapt or die. Channeling Darwin at COP
Climate-related events are growing more frequent and costly to the global economy.

Have we ever seen a banker wearing a mask and a cape?
Unless reminded with taxpayers money bailouts in the aftermath of the 2007-08 financial crises or regular trading losses due to poor risk management, the finance industry generally likes to be associated with big numbers. And COP 26 offered them one: $130 trn. Indeed, asset owners are reported to have committed to reaching net zero (carbon) […]
