What Happened At COP26 - Joan Michelson on GreenTV with Betsy Rosenberg

We need "a whole economy transition," the announcement at COP26 of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero stated, where "every company, bank, insurer and investor will have to adjust their business models, develop credible plans for the transition and implement them." Gillian Tett of the Financial Times said on my Electric Ladies podcast at COP26 that, "what they've done is say we've got 450 institutions from around the world that have 130 trillion (dollars) worth of assets. All of whom are going to commit to try and decarbonize the world's economy and to get supposedly to net zero by 2050."
