1. Research your own 401(k) plan 2. Draft your request letter 3. Get signatures 4. Send 5. If that doesn’t work, try again "you have every legal right to seek legal protection if you believe your financial interests are not being served." #climaterisk

Big thanks to @ReilingDavid for hosting me to discuss the world of Climate Fintech, growing up in Berkeley, and what comes next as @doconomy helps banking customers to see their climate impact.
Climate and finance might seem mutually exclusive. In fact, they’re closely connected. @Aaroncmc of @doconomy talks with David about climate fintech and how financial institutions can better track their carbon footprint. Listen now to #NextGenBanker: https://t.co/IjJDvr9t6V

This year everyone's attention has been focused on Congress passing major climate legislation. But at the same time, state legislatures and Governors have quietly passed new climate and clean energy efforts across the country. Long thread of the wins you may have missed in 2022:

Nice to see some enforcement behind ESG “greenwashing”. Looking forward to the day when the SEC catches up on climate.
German authorities raided the offices of Deutsche Bank and subsidiary DWS following claims that it was exaggerating the environmental and climate credentials of certain funds — referred to as “greenwashing.”

When someone says "we have all we need to solve climate we just need to deploy" that makes me pretty suspect that they don't understand the problem. Usually they are talking about solar/wind and EVs which are indeed hugely important.

Getting close... "The mid-March assessment by Benchmark shows battery grade lithium carbonate averaging $76,700 a tonne. That’s up 10% over just two weeks and 95% since the start of the year. In March last year it was trading at $13,400 a tonne."

Chinese lithium prices double again in 2022, Benchmark’s mid-March assessment shows with seasonal restart of domestic brine supply unlikely to counter growing deficits.
