Last month, I sat down to answer some questions about my role as @UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance. I want to make sure that every financial decision takes climate change into account to help us get to #netzero .

The net-zero revolution is becoming a driver of country competitiveness, job creation & growth. In the future great powers will be green powers — and Canada can be a great power Thanks to all who joined the Fall Net-Zero Leadership Summit to discuss how we seize this opportunity

Pension funds secure our retirements. But what will that future be like? A planet plagued by a growing #ClimateEmergency ? Or a world on a path to #sustainability ? With $50+ trillion globally, pension funds have a critical role to play in the #netzero transition @MMMoneyMatter 1/2

Covid teaches us #resilience is important. It’s about having a strategic reserve we don’t use every day, but is there when we need it. Be it the next pandemic (sorry, there will be one) or climate change, do we have what we need when the unexpected happens? That’s #resilience .

Climate change and housing affordability aren’t just solvable problems; they have common solutions. Politicians at every level of government should take note and take action. My op-ed in today’s @GlobeandMail :

Thrilled that the @G7 nations have agreed to follow the UK’s example and undertake mandatory climate reporting. This is such an important step in getting markets to play their part in tackling environmental issues and paves the way for us all to achieve our net zero goals. #G7UK

In the 2020 #Reith lectures, I draw on historical perspectives and my own experiences in the public and private sectors to argue the 3 crises of this century—credit, Covid, & climate—are driven by a common crisis of values.

The combination of the weight of scientific evidence & the dynamics of the financial system suggest that #climatechange will threaten financial resilience & economic prosperity. This is a risk from which we cannot diversify, and the window to act is finite and shrinking. #values

The value of money is not simply the product of formulas, rules or algorithms. Money is grounded in values of trust, resilience, dynamism, solidarity and sustainability. Central banks should pursue a deliberate, values-based strategy to deliver monetary & financial stability.

Climate change is beginning to impact assets which have a mrkt price, making the scale of the calamity more tangible—a vicious cycle in which rising sea levels & more extreme weather damage property, force migration, impair assets & reduce the productivity of work. #values 1/2

I'm excited about this #climate plan bc it commits to a clean grid by 2035, which I proposed at the Industry cmtee & in my book. We’re already a leader & zero-emissions electricity will make our air cleaner, businesses more competitive & transform how we travel, work & live. 2/2

We will only get to net zero if heavy-emitting sectors get the finance they need to cut emissions. I wrote about #GFANZ 's and @bloombergdotorg 's strategy to get capital flowing in the Economist 1/10

To achieve the goals of the #ParisAgreement , we need innovation on every front including a new sustainable financial system that funds private innovation & more ambitious government action to deliver #netzero .

A new UN Climate Change report shows that climate plans submitted so far by countries do not put us on a path to meet the Paris Agreement goals. But many parties must still submit their #NDC . This year, we can turn this trend around. #ItsPossible 👉🏿
