I've just updated my list of currently available impact investments for retail investors! Who am I missing?? www.goodinvesting.com/impact-inves...

One of my favourite parts of being a new dad is leaning into the dad jokes. That’s why I’m so happy to be hosting a Community Solar Panel next week on Nov 25th 🤣 get it - panel?? Comment or DM me if you're in Toronto and want to attend the live taping. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

When @mikesamba.bsky.social published his climate research report, he didn't expect it to go viral in the right-wing media! Watch the full interview: youtu.be/hA7H20M0qzY Listen to the podcast: goodinvesting.com/podcast

It was such a pleasure to interview my cousin @mikesamba.bsky.social for the podcast. He's one of the brightest minds in Canadian climate finance (ok, ok, maybe I'm biased here). Video: youtu.be/hA7H20M0qzY Audio: goodinvesting.com/podcast

The last few months have been beautiful, terrifying, exhausting, challenging, rewarding, and cute AF. The summer was hard in Toronto. Heat waves. Smoke from wildfires. Being a new parent comes with its own kind of cabin fever, but climate change adds another layer.

Next up is electrified transport! This was barely a scratch in the total number back in 2009, but it grew 20%+ last year! EVs and e-bikes are the majority of the $760 billion 2024 figure, with $2.77 trillion since 2015.

First up is Water! Water infrastructure has been the steadiest green sector. Its market size was $346 billion in 2024 and $2.8 trillion since 2015.

I'm preparing for an update to the Green Transition Scoreboard research report. I started aggregating investments in the global green economy back in 2009 with my mentor, Hazel Henderson. The first report found over $1 trillion flowing into green sectors!!

Green bonds have remained incredibly resilient amidst the recent backlash against ESG. On tomorrow’s show, I’m interviewing Simon Senécal from AlphaFixe Capital, the sub-adviser for the National Bank Sustainable Canadian Bond ETF (NSCB), which has almost $3 billion in assets under management!

Wondering WTF is going on with these markets? Check out the market update I did at the start of last night's webinar. TLDR: take a deep breath and zoom out - stay calm & rebalance! youtu.be/f-Fe8elHfDE

Lots of people are asking me about divesting from Tesla! I had fun on CBC Vancouver talking about ethical investing. 4-minute video in reply

1/ Big news—I’m having a baby! 🎉This June, my wife and I will welcome our daughter into the world, and life is about to change in ways I can’t fully comprehend yet.

I'm happy to see @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social take the helm of the federal Liberal party! I don't expect him to talk about sustainable finance much on the campaign trail, but I know it'll be a priority if he gets to govern. Has anyone read his book Value(s)? I'd love to hear thoughts…

Pumped for tonight's Climate-Proofing Your Personal Finances webinar! It's my biggest audience so far (200+ registrations) and is jam-packed with actionable insights to reduce your savings and investments' carbon footprint and carbon risk. See you there!

Averages mean nothing. We need a Volatility Index for weather / climate

Waking up in 2025 feels surreal. Every day, I wake up to a new crisis - L.A. on fire; hospitals in Gaza being reduced to rubble; companies rolling back DEI initiatives and climate pledges. 🧵

This is so wholesome, it hurts 🥰

Insurance markets are the first to internalize climate risk, followed by the bond market. Equity markets are lagging far behind IMO

Follow the (insurance) money

If you want to know what's happening with climate change, listen to the insurers - they know their shit and are on top of climate risks.

Thank you, Brenda Bouw & Corporate Knights, for asking a big question: Why do people want responsible investments, but advisors aren’t selling them? www.corporateknights.com/rankings/eco...
