The New New Economy: Investing with a Climate Change Lens During Challenging Times
The New New Economy symposium held in New York City on November 20, 2008, examined the principles of MRI and its implications for climate change. Al Gore, Van Jones (now part of the environmental team at the White House), and other speakers discussed how despite recent financial losses, there is still some $520 billion in the endowments of private foundations in the U.S. that can act as a catalyst for social change through market-driven investments that promote a foundation’s mission and program objectives.
