#NatureAction + #ClimateAction must go hand in hand. We heard this message loud and clear from #LondonClimateActionWeek to #ClimateWeekNYC to #COP30 this year. I explain how the private sector is driving this conversation in my latest column: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... @forbes.com

With attention on the Amazon & #COP30 last week, our latest report reveals many companies in high-risk sectors still lag on tackling #deforestationrisk. Leaders like Danone SA & Nestlé SA prove progress is possible—but much work remains. Read more: www.ceres.org/resources/ne... #naturerisk

While U.S. state and city leaders, members of Congress, and major companies and investors made clear that they will continue advancing #climate and #nature solutions, world leaders fell short on an agreement to accelerate action. www.ceres.org/resources/ne... #COP30

Despite the headlines, companies + investors aren’t just maintaining their sustainability commitments—they’re accelerating them. Why? Because #sustainability is good for business + long-term value. 👉 trellis.net/article/desp... #CleanEnergy #ClimateRisk @trellisgroup.bsky.social

A new economy is rising. Business is the engine driving economic growth, better jobs, energy security & lower bills - but governments must set the course. #COP30 is our moment to accelerate the transition. 📅 View the Business Pavilion schedule: www.wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/cop-business...

Our new benchmark pinpoints corporate water stewardship gaps + best practices driving progress. It’s a key resource for investors engaging portfolio companies on water risks through the Valuing Water Finance Initiative—the only investor-led global effort focused on water action.

Last week Climate Action 100+ released its latest Net Zero Company Benchmark, a publicly available tool which evaluates the performance of 164 focus companies based on emissions reduction, climate governance, and climate-related disclosure. Learn more: www.climateaction100.org/news/climate...

U.S. insurers know climate risks are rising—but too few are showing how they’ll reduce their long-term exposure. Short-term risk management won’t hold as weather-related disasters escalate. Read here for 3 steps insurers can take: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...

Though 87% of the insurance groups we analyzed have climate goals, none provide targets to track progress, all while the insurance industry is under mounting pressure from climate-driven losses. Download the full report for free and listen to a short audio conversation here: bit.ly/3Hy1T5P

Climate-fueled disasters are upending lives across the U.S.—yet the EPA is proposing to repeal the Endangerment Finding, the legal backbone for limiting climate pollution. Health and economic risks are sure to increase. Read more in my @reuters.com op-ed: www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

As the federal gov’t pulls back on climate & energy leadership, states are stepping up—modernizing the grid, expanding EVs, and building clean energy that boosts jobs, cuts costs & accelerates innovation. State policymakers know what’s at stake. Op-ed 👉 www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...

Congratulations Clausell Stokes III on this well-deserved recognition. Your leadership and impact on Ceres federal policy work are making a real difference—and we’re lucky to have you on the team.

As stewards of long-term capital, asset owners are recognizing that climate strategy is not a nice-to-have — it’s foundational to fiduciary duty. In my latest Forbes piece, I explore how public officials and investment leaders around the world are putting this into practice.

On behalf of Ceres and the institutional investors we work with, I recently sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney outlining key recommendations to help Canada support global climate goals and strengthen long-term investor confidence. Read more: www.ceres.org/resources/ne...

In his recent @miamiherald.com op-ed, former U.S. Representative Carlos Curbelo makes a powerful case for why considering climate risk is not just smart policy — it’s economic common sense. This is a must-read perspective on the #freedomtoinvest responsibly. www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-e...

We hope you'll join us at #ClimateWeekNYC at the Nest Climate Campus this September.

A new Ceres analysis provides important insights into where major food companies are taking critical steps to reduce planet-warming emissions and how that progress can be accelerated across the sector. Read more here: www.ceres.org/resources/as...

Extreme weather and climate risk are rising in the $4T muni bond market. But disclosure falls short. In my latest Forbes piece, I share how cities can integrate #climaterisk disclosure to provide transparency for investors and protect market access. www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...

#CleanEnergy investing continues to surge because the business case is clear: meet energy needs, reduce risks from extreme weather, and capture new markets. A steady drumbeat of data released over the past few weeks underscores the scale of this trend. Read more: www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl...

Listen to my conversation with Climate One on why investors continue to act responsibly on the financial impacts of climate change. www.climateone.org/audio/esg-bs

Republican support for #cleanenergy tax credits is growing as these incentives have already spurred hundreds of thousands of new jobs, incentivized hundreds of new manufacturing and deployment projects, and leveraged over $400 billion in private investment. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Companies are taking to Capitol Hill as part of #LEADonClean2025 to meet with lawmakers during the tax debate. Their message: maintain clean energy tax incentives because they are not just good for the planet–they make sound fiscal policy. www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... @forbes.com

Congratulations to Malayah Redmond, for being recognized as a @trellisgroup.bsky.social #GreenBiz25 Emerging Leader. Malayah is a Senior Associate on our Company Network team, and I’m delighted to celebrate her well-deserved recognition. www.greenbiz.org/awardees

The SEC's decision to delay arguments over the climate disclosure rule is deeply disappointing. For over 20 years, investors have asked for consistent, comparable, and transparent information about companies’ climate-related risks, which is key to ensuring long-term shareholder value.

With the #EUDR taking effect later this year, companies operating in the EU must move quickly to implement strong robust no-deforestation policies to meet the law’s requirements. Will they be ready? Read more in my latest op-ed. www.forbes.com/sites/mindyl... #deforestation #nature #climate
