This book presents a compelling truth: regardless of the size of one's investment portfolio, every investor possesses the ability to play a pivotal role in addressing our climate crisis and creating a more sustainable world. It emphasizes the collective responsibility we hold to take immediate action. Al Gore, a former Vice President of the United States, emphasizes the significance of individual contributions, stating that everyone's savings account and pension can make a meaningful impact. Ross, in this clear and accessible book, provides a comprehensive guide on how we can make our money matter and save both ourselves and the planet we inhabit. Christiana Figueres, a founding partner of Global Optimism and the former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, praises it as a "more important book at the moment." She highlights its detailed and actionable approach, offering a roadmap for individuals to make their money work towards saving the planet. Richard Curtis, a writer, director, and co-founder of Red Nose Day and an advocate for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizes the power of responsible investing as a means to combat climate change. He believes that conscious investing, once considered a niche sector for rebel fund managers, has the potential to raise substantial funds for companies and organizations actively engaged in addressing the climate crisis, while also generating positive returns for investors. In this essential introduction to green investing, Alice Ross empowers individuals to transform their savings and pensions, regardless of their size, into a force for change. She guides readers through the complexities of the sector, demystifying industry jargon and identifying greenwashing practices. By maximizing their economic power and holding those they invest in accountable, individuals can contribute to the urgent fight against climate change. Changing the way we invest is recognized as one of the most powerful levers we have in addressing climate change. This book is not only highly interesting but also immensely practical, offering valuable insights and strategies for individuals looking to align their financial decisions with their values and contribute to a more sustainable future.
