It’s undeniable that climate change is happening. It’s happening all around us, and it’s happening right now.
What is also undeniable is that there will be winners, as well as losers.
The question is which will we be? We locally, we regionally and we as a nation.
MarketWatch last week reported on a recent speech by former vice president and Nobel Prize-winning environmentalist Al Gore. In that speech at a banking event, Gore noted that millennials, now well into their careers and building stock portfolios, should see climate change not only as a fearsome future, but also as “the single biggest investment opportunity in history.”
“The sustainability revolution has the magnitude of the agricultural and industrial revolutions, but the speed of the digital revolution,” Gore said at the fourth annual Deutsche Bank Wealth Management Next Generation Innovation Summit in San Francisco. “This is the battle of your lifetimes, but we can turn the corner in the next 10 to 15 years. And the assets you control can make a huge difference.”
