Did you know that climate change poses a hidden threat to your investments, 401(k) accounts, and pensions?
We’re all told that being financially responsible means investing in stocks and bonds, and saving for retirement. But if the world goes up in flames, our 401(k)s won’t help us. And what’s worse is that right now, we don’t have information about public companies’ vulnerability to climate change, their current greenhouse gas emissions, and whether they will make good on their public climate commitments.
Public companies — like Wall Street and fossil fuel firms — want to keep us in the dark about their contributions to climate chaos, environmental racism, and abuse of Indigenous rights. While these companies make up retirement plans, pensions, or individuals’ investments, their business practices are contributing to the climate crisis and putting everyone’s finances — and our planet — at risk!
