“…We are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance… because capital markets pull risk forward, we will see changes in capital allocation more quickly than we see changes to the climate itself. In the near future – and sooner than most anticipate – there will be a significant reallocation of capital.”
Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO, BlackRock
