Investors Should Care About Climate Change

Bloomberg's head of Global Sustainability Critis Ravenel was recently interviewed by Institutional Investor discussing why investors should care about climate change. Revenel, who originally proposed the sustainability effort at Bloomberg in 2006 says that it has been "an opportunity to elevate the conversation in a way that is an accelerant to change by demonstrating the connection between environmental and financial returns". First and foremost sustainability is good for business, he says, and also the right thing to do.
