The Relevancy of Climate Change for Investors
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
12:00 pm - 1:30 pm (Eastern)

Speakers:

• Cary Krosinsky, Vice President, Trucost Inc
• Sonal Mahida, Vice President USA, Carbon Disclosure Project
• Julie Fox Gorte, Senior Vice President for Sustainable Investing, PaxWorld
• Brian Rice, Investment Officer, Corporate Governance, CalSTRS

As the world moves to global negotiations later this year in Copenhagen, a true, global price on carbon inevitably will impact public companies, and therefore their investors. What approaches are being taken by investors to encourage efficiencies and understanding? What existing metrics and tools are used by investors today, and what is likely on the horizon? What other factors other than carbon emissions are relevant and why?

This 90-minute program, planned in conjunction with the "Action for a Sustainable America: Sustainability Stakeholder Engagement" program scheduled July 15-16 in New York, will provide answers to the above questions and will feature other related discussions.
