Presentations & Publications

In keeping with my mission to engage bondholders why they need to be taking climate change and global warming more seriously, and to explain to NGOs that investors actually include people who buy bonds I have put out a number of publications and travelled to speak at conferences across the globe.

You can download some of my publications here as well as download and watch my presentations on this subject.
