S. Financial regulators has concluded that the costs of Climate Change pose a big threat to Financial Markets and we can now speak to leonardo much as day as he is the global director of the Sustainable Finance center at the wild Resources Institute and also editor of that report he joins us now from washington d. C. And not i thank you for being with us this is really an assessment of climate risk which isnt just about extreme weather events like weve been saying but also about the fundamental stability of Financial Markets can you explain how its all related. Yes the commission came up with conclusions the 1st is that the u. S. Financial system is vulnerable to the kinds of impacts that we just heard about and wildfires on hurricanes and floods and those assets have to be protected or they will begin to affect the value of loans and starks and all the Financial Instruments that are so important but it also says that there is a risk that companies will not adapt quickly enough to a transition to a low carbon Carbon Economy and there is also a threat that has to be borne against a lot of the trunk administration has pursued environmental deregulation saying that that will spur Economic Growth but ignoring Climate Change will do the opposite not of this is new institutions like the world bank of been saying this for years so how do you convince politicians of that. The point thing about this report is its not just coming from economists or the world bank its coming from 34. 00 members who come from the private sector including some of the largest american banks asset owners and yes managers and environmental n. G. O. S as well so business is sending a very clear signal this is not a political this is a fundamental threat to the business of finance while they are not in this administration is also tried to Block Research on Climate Change from coming out its remarkable that your report was published why do you think that is. I think its a testimony to the fact that the c. Of the sea the regulatory body that convened the group had the foresight and the wisdom to realize this is a major issue that has to be looked at even if the politics are unfriendly to it and that it had to put in the table for consideration of congress as well as the white house do you think you know that the coronavirus pandemic which is waiting week and the resilience of markets that weve seen could that actually encourage more action on climate risk front given that its all the more urgent now. That is a sincere hope of the subcommittee of the subcommittee makes it clear that corona virus has made the whole system less resilient more susceptible to taking blows and less able to Christian News those impacts and therefore it brings the alarm that this issue has to be looked at it also concludes that congress and the congress and the regulators already have the authorities the power to address a problem if they have the political will to do so let me ask you about political well then what ching these wildfires in extreme weather devastate communities people having to move because they can already no longer grow a fair and well hear more of this than in the south as they are about us and wildlife populations have been decimated ecosystems destroyed President Trump himself has called Climate Change a hoax but now that theres a growing growing realisation that it could affect the stock market and money do you think that that makes the space for political will to get the stuff i think itll get the attention of very powerful people and very powerful interests it also the report since a very clear this is not just about shielding assets and avoiding risk and teaching a defensive crouch its also going to how can the Financial System provide some of the financing we need in order to avoid the problem to build resilience and to make the transition to a low Carbon Economy the Financial Sector sorts of part of the solution its not just an innocent bystander and youre not in martinez day as the editor of that report that was just released thanks so much for joining us here on out is there thank you so much as he.
