ESG efforts are ultimately driven by the “business case” and not by impact maximisation as an end goal. This is why #ESG and impact are not the same thing. knowledge.insead.edu/respons…

In a meeting with the High-Level Climate Champions to discuss the state of play at #COP27 I gave @UNenvoyMM a button from #COP17 in Durban reading #WTF (Where's the Finance?), which he immediately put on his lapel. 😉 #ClimateEmergency #ClimateActionNow #LossAndDamageFinanceNow

I am so so sorry to hear that the brilliant Herman Daly - founding father of ecological economics - has died. His paradigm-changing work flipped my little econ head inside out & inspired me to write a book on rewriting economics… Here are just some of his big ideas 1/n.

Most people STILL have absolutely no idea what's already here, and what's coming very soon, with climate breakdown. A small number of people have been trying so hard to let everyone know and we are mainly ignored and ridiculed.

This seems like a pretty important paper. Much of the earth is dry. Trees in drylands increase heat absorption, largely cancelling out the climate effects of CO2 they store. Previously this effect was well recognized from snowy forests, but this paper shows its global importance
Wow! Patagonia has always featured prominently in my teaching as a real inspiration for how to build a profitable business with a strong impact mission. Now it reaches a new level... hats off!! cnbc.com/amp/2022/09/14/pata…

Patagonia founder just donated the entire company, worth $3 billion, to fight climate change

Moving forward, Patagonia's profits that are not re-invested into the business will be donated to a group of nonprofit organizations fighting climate change.
