Toolkit for Foundations and Individual Investors: Harnessing Your Investments to Help Solve the Climate Crisis, November 2008

Climate risk is now embedded in all investment portfolios as companies worldwide face far-reaching competitive risks from emerging climate regulations, threats of litigation from climate inaction and physical hazards from extreme weather events, rising sea levels, wildfires and water shortages.
