Financial Markets and the Making of Climate Resilience

The year I turned 26, scientists measured atmospheric concentrations of Carbon at 400 ppm for the first time in recorded history. According to former NASA scientist James Hansen, “If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted…CO2 will need to be reduced [to] at most 350 ppm.” So the story translates: the arctic is melting. Seas are rising. Disease. Drought. Wildfires. Resource Wars. All while our human family is projected to expand to 9 billion over the next couple of decades.

Film production companies and executives need to be aware of EHS issues and know when to call in for backup. Stakes are high, with a great deal of money and publicity on the line, not to mention the safety of the cast and crew.
