One in every three Americans lives in a county that’s been hit by a billion-dollar climate disaster in just the last year.
This isn’t just a crisis of science.
It’s a crisis of rights, systems, and everyday survival.
And now, the world’s highest court agrees.
I’ve spent decades building financial systems meant to manage risk.
But the risks we face now—floods, fires, heat, housing loss—can’t be managed by numbers alone.
Last week, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Justice issued an opinion that climate inaction can violate human rights.
That includes the right to safe housing.
The right to clean air.
The right to survive.
This changes the conversation, I agree with António Guterres.
It should change how we work, invest, lead, and support one another—no matter your industry or role.
🎯 That’s why I’m hosting the Emerald Climate Fintech Summit during NYC Climate Week this September, alongside Nicole Casperson.
